Description

Presented by Home2 Suites and Tru by Hilton - Yakima Airport

5th Annual Yakima Mile -- Saturday, July 13, 2024

The course follows a one-mile, gradual downhill stretch of Yakima Ave. finishing in the shadows of Yakima’s historic Larson Building. Yakima Mile is open to kids, families, dogs, veterans, elite runners, and all those who want to run their fastest mile…. EVER (or walk, or jog... as you like).

The Elite Mile races bring together many of the fastest milers from around the nation in hopes of breaking the Fastest Mile in Washington – yet again  – and taking home some big cash prizes. Sam Prakel currently holds the men's fastest mile in Washington time of 3:50.5 and Nikki Hiltz holds the women's record at 4:20.5.

Competitive races are stacked across the board with cash prizes – the total purse for 2024 is over $50,000.

Youths 18 & under register for free thanks to the generosity of our sponsors Home2 and Tru by Hilton
