This race has been around almost 30 years. It's a flat and fast marathon. Or rather, it's fast if the wind isn't blowing- and it has been windy 3 of the last 4 years. You cross the Columbia River 4 times. The start is in Richland, you cross the river into into Pasco, then into Kennewick, and then cross again into Pasco (on windy days, this is where you could start running into a headwind), then a final bridge back into Richland. The only hills are over the bridges. It is very well done and worth doing.
