Richland Runfest (10K-13.1M) - Feb 28, 2026 | Richland, WA

Lace up for the Richland Runfest on February 28, 2026, offering challenging and rewarding races across Half Marathon (13.1M) and 10K distances in Richland, WA. Presented by the 3 Rivers Road Runners, this event kicks off and concludes at Columbia Point Marina Park, providing a vibrant atmosphere for runners. The course winds along the scenic Columbia River, granting views of the riverfront and local parks. While not entirely flat, the route presents a low-grade hilly terrain with several out-and-back sections, including a notable uphill challenge around mile 8 for those tackling the longer distances. Typical race day conditions in late February are crisp, with highs around 52°F and lows near 31°F, and only a 1% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

Runners can expect excellent support throughout the race with three strategically placed aid stations along the course, some even featuring live music from the Richland High School Band to energize participants. What truly sets the Richland Runfest apart is its unique finisher medals: each medal is designed to interlock, forming one impressive display if you complete all three distances (including the 5K, which is also offered). Half Marathon finishers are further rewarded with a stylish lightweight hoodie, and all in-person runners receive finish line treats and a surprise gift.

Beyond the personal achievement, your participation contributes to the local community, as a portion of registration fees supports valuable charities like Grace Collective and local school band programs. While some past runners have noted the course's proximity to busy freeways and multiple out-and-backs, the overall organization and supportive atmosphere remain a highlight. Join fellow runners for a well-organized event that blends picturesque river views with a community-focused mission.
