Schedule:
Marathon & Marathon Relay Start: 8:00AM (7AM early start available)

Course:

The Half Marathon course is 6.55 miles out-and-back into Pasco, turning around on the trail just before the Road 54 boat launch. This is a USATF certified course through 2027.

The Marathon course is planned to be the same as 2024, again following the Pasco river trail past the Cable Bridge before crossing it into Kennewick. From there, the course is a mix of trail and bike lane going west on Columbia Park Trail. Turn north on the 240 side path and west towards Chamna Park, turning around about 1/3 of the way up the I-182 bridge. Follow the 240 trail back into Richland and to the Riverfront Hotel. USATF Certification for this course is in progress.

Relay Exchange 1 is at the Road 54 parking area in Pasco. Exchange 2 is at the turn into Columbia Park in Kennewick (just before the skate park). Exchange 3 is at the east end of Carrier Road in Richland. If your team does not have all 4 members, you may allocate the relay legs however you wish. Parking is generous at all 3 exchange points. You are responsible for arranging for transport to/from these points.

Both courses are mostly flat apart from the bridges. The final 8 miles of the Marathon course are slightly rolling. Elevation gain for the Marathon is about 400ft.

Every turn will be clearly marked with spray chalk, cones, signs, etc. and a friendly marshal if enough volunteer. (Yes, we need VOLUNTEERS!) We will also have markers at every mile and 5km intervals. A comprehensive guide to the course can be found in the Athlete’s Guide.

Register at https://runsignup.com/Race/WA/Richland/TriCitiesMarathonRelay
Aid Stations:

The exact locations and intervals of the aid stations are TBD, but will be approximately every 2 miles as with most other marathons. You will get about 12 stations for the Marathon, 6 for the Half Marathon, and 2-3 for each relay leg. These stations will be stocked with water, electrolytes, energy gels, and other snacks. Info on each aid station will be posted in the Athlete’s Guide.

Let us know how we can improve our aid stations! They are a key component to a quality marathon experience, and being a small event means we are able to take a more individualized approach to them. What are some of your favorite things to take at aid stations? We are all ears to that!

Training:

“It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey there” could not be more true for long distance events, and you never have to tackle this by yourself. The Tri-Cities has several great running coaches and groups.
Fleet Feet Richland is hosting a training program for the Half Marathon. Long Runs are 8AM Saturdays and Workouts are 6PM Wednesdays at their Richland location. Click the following link for more info. https://www.fleetfeet.com/s/tricities/training/fall-distance-training
The Richland RunFest also hosts a long run group. They currently meet Sundays at 7AM at the Wake Up Call Coffee near Howard Amon Park. Facebook Group Link: https://www.facebook.com/richlandrunfest
Both of these groups, as with most others in the area, welcome all paces and abilities.
Other training groups may pop up here and there, and we will announce as many as we can on our web pages. If you prefer to train by yourself, there are many free training programs and pace calculators on the internet. Take full advantage of the resources around you!

Weather:

The weather in late October can vary greatly. In 2023, the start temperature was 25F with minimal wind. In 2024, the start temperature was in the 40s but with extreme winds up to 20mph. The average conditions are low 30s with a slight wind blowing east. Please plan for any conditions! The race will be held regardless of conditions as long as it is safe.

Volunteers!!!

No organized running event would be possible without the help of volunteers. Between aid stations, course marshals, event setup, etc., we will need about 70-90 volunteers to make this event the best it can be, and of course any extra help we can get is greatly appreciated. Have family/friends not doing anything on a Sunday morning? Bring them out with you to help you and fellow runners on your way! (Did I mention fresh air is good for everyone?)

2026-05-09 08:00 - 10:00
Scenic Miles. Big Views. One Unforgettable Run. 🏁🏃‍♂️📸
Get ready for one of the most unique race experiences in Eastern Oregon — because the Dam Good Run isn’t just another out-and-back on a sidewalk. This race gives you front-row views of the Columbia River AND the rare chance to run on top of the McNary Dam (yes, really). That section is normally closed to the public, which makes this basically a VIP cardio experience.
We’re hosting both a 5K and 10K that start and finish at West Park (on 3rd Street, just ½ mile west of the Fish Viewing Room on the Oregon side of the McNary Dam). The event will be chip timed by Eastern Oregon Sports Training, with results available online immediately after you finish — perfect for bragging rights.
👕 Race Swag
All participants who register by April 25, 2025 will receive a short-sleeved Dam Good Run T-shirt.
*We do order extra shirts, but runners who register after April 26 are not guaranteed a shirt. Procrastinators beware.
👧 Kids Run Free!
Thanks to a grant from UEC and support from local sponsors, kids ages 13 and under race FREE!
Kids can register online and will receive:
– An official race bib w/ chip timing
– Recorded race results
Basically: full race experience, zero entry fee. Big win.

TITANIUM MAN JR. TRIATHLON
Race date is August 1, 2026
For 7-12 year old triathletes!
Hey kids –> It’s your turn! Here is a chance to give triathlon a try. See if you’ve got what it takes to get to the finish line…we think you can do it.
Hey parents –> Here is a chance for your young athletes to try something a little different by putting a swim, bike, and run together in one event. We have designed a safe course with plenty of adult supervision that will be fun for the kids to challenge. The 200-yard swim will be in the river in a shallow area near shore with plenty of adult swimmer support. The 4.5-mile bike leg is all on a bike path, except for a short portion in the boat ramp parking lot which will be heavily barricaded and controlled. Helmets are required during the bike ride. The 1-mile run will be completely on a foot path. 7 & 8 year olds will bike and run half of this distance.
IMPORTANT BIKE INFORMATION. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. WE WILL NO LONGER ALLOW THE USE OF LIGHTWEIGHT, MULTI-SPEED RACING BIKES WITH LIGHTWEIGHT SKINNY TIRES. THE OLDER KIDS HAVE COME TO BE TOO FAST ON THESE BIKES TO SAFELY NAVIGATE THE COURSE. ACCEPTABLE BIKES INCLUDE MOUNTAIN BIKES, SINGLE SPEED BIKES, CRUISERS, SPIDERMAN BIKES, HELLO KITTY BIKES WITH A BASKET IN FRONT…YOU KNOW, KID’S BIKES. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BIKE YOU PLAN TO USE, SEND A DESCRIPTION AND A PHOTO TO ERIC AT sageg@charter.net.
What: It’s a triathlon that starts with a swim, goes directly into a bike, and then finishes with the run. Once the starting gun goes off, the action is non-stop and doesn’t end until the run is completed. The 9 to 12 year olds will finish a course that consists of a 200 yard swim, 4.5 mile bike and a one-mile run. The 7 and 8 year olds will do the same swim, but bike and run half the distance of the older kids.
Where: Howard Amon Park, Richland, Washington. Look for the picnic shelter in the south end of the park, on the river side of the Richland Community Center for race HQ.

THE PLUTONIUM MAN TRIATHLON TAKES PLACE ON AUGUST 29, 2026
TWO DISTANCES TO CHOOSE FROM: you have the choice of Olympic distance, sprint distance, or relay teams for the Olympic distance event.
RACE FORMAT: 1.3 km swim; 40 km bike; 10 km run for the Olympic distance triathlon and 1.3 km swim, 20 km bike, and 5 km run for the sprint distance triathlon.
Course Description: Swimmers enter the Columbia River at a beach about 400 yards upstream of the North Richland starch plant and swim downstream with the current (fast times, baby) 1.3 km to the exit just upstream of Sprout Road. The single transition area will be at the SE corner of the WSU Tri-Cities campus grounds. Cyclists will head west on Sprout Road, turn right on George Washington Way and follow the course as described on the course maps. Olympic distance triathletes will do 2 loops of the bike course while the sprint distance triathletes do one loop.
The run will also consist of two loops that take runners upstream (north) along the foot path, with a hard left turn by the Triton Submarine monument, back along Richardson Road, taking a left on Crimson Way, and back through the WSU campus. Olympic distance triathletes do two loops of this course and the sprint distance triathletes do one loop of the run course.
Fees:
• Race – $55 by June 30, 2026 at 11:59 pm and $70 after that (3RRR members get a $3 discount). We have a longer than normal lead time for the pre-registration deadline since our clothing option this year is Carrera Tri Shorts from DeSoto that they will be making for us to get to the Plutonium Man participants that want to take advantage of a great deal.
• Additional cost for a USAT one day license if not a USAT member
(As a sanctioned USA Triathlon (USAT) event, all participants are required to have a USAT license. If you are not a card carrying member a One Day License must be purchased. As you register you will be prompted to pay the one-day license fee. If you are a current USAT member you won’t need to purchase a One Day License. Simply enter your USAT Member Number where prompted.)
3RRR members get the discount mentioned above if they register by the pre-registration deadline of August 18, 2025.
