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

All three distances — Half Marathon, 12K, and 5K — take place entirely on the Children of the Sun Trail in Spokane, starting and ending at Wildhorse Park. Expect smooth pavement, rolling elevation changes, and a course that rewards smart pacing. It’s fast enough to race, challenging enough to stay interesting, and beginner-friendly from start to finish.
