About the Sun City Barry James Memorial 5K and Half Marathon

The half marathon route rolls through orchard country east of Yakima, with enough hills to keep it interesting without being punishing. The shorter distance shares the start and finish at a fitness center on University Parkway in Terrace Heights. Aid stations are spread across the course. This is a Hard Core Running Club event, and it draws a crowd that knows the roads well.
