Rides and Runs

For nine months of the year, the Yakima Valley hosts runners and bike riders from all over the Northwest and beyond for races and rides. It's more than the reliably sunny skies from March to November that make the Valley an ideal destination for trail and road running, mountain biking and cycling. Find your perfect event racing through the vineyards or hop fields, against, the backdrop of the Cascade Mountains, atop rocky viewpoints, on subalpine trails or winding through scenic byways.
