From the Organizer
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. There is hardly any shade throughout the course, so come prepared to battle the sun.

About This Sport
From Endurance Grid's Founder
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The half marathon is the distance where you find out what you're actually made of. Long enough to demand real preparation. Short enough that it doesn't consume your life to train for it. Most people who run their first half describe it as the race that changed their relationship with what they're capable of. Once you cross this finish line, the bar moves. That's not a warning — that's the point.
Race day energy varies by event size, but the finish line feeling is the same regardless. Big races keep the noise going the whole way. Smaller races give you stretches where it's just you and the miles — and that solitude becomes its own kind of fuel.
The half marathon rewards people who show up for the boring training miles.
How long to train: 10–14 weeks. If you're already running consistently, 10 weeks of structured buildup is enough. If you're building from a casual base, give yourself 14.
Running
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
