About the Cold for a Cause 5k
The race runs through Sarg Hubbard Park in winter, so expect cold air and the kind of morning where you will be glad you layered up. The course is a standard road distance through park surroundings, and the proceeds benefit a local mission that works with people experiencing homelessness in Yakima.
The race draws a wide range of paces, from people pushing hard to those out for a brisk walk. It has the feel of a neighborhood gathering with a purpose behind it, rather than a purely competitive morning on the roads.
