About this race

Welcome to the first ever Children of the Sun Half Marathon, presented by CENTURY 21!

The entire course stays on the Children of the Sun Trail in north Spokane. Smooth, paved, and deceptively relentless. Just 13.1 miles and roughly 750 feet of elevation gain. It’s smooth, runnable, and just long enough to punish poor pacing decisions. Perfect for first timers and anyone looking to break their PR! You will have 4 hours to complete the full course. 

We also offer the 10K and 5K for those looking for a faster paced challenge!

You are expected to arrive healthy and ready for the challenge. Take care of your bodies and come ready to go! We will provide plenty of water, electrolytes, coffee, and fruit! There are 3 aid stations total, so bring extra gear as needed.
