THE 2010 WENATCHEE MARATHON WILL BE SATURDAY, APRIL 17TH. WALKERS WELCOME!! (See "race info" page for details). *********************************************************************************** The race organization welcomes you to the Wenatchee Marathon and its related running events. We are hosting 4 events for runners and walkers: a marathon, marathon relay, a half-marathon and a 10K. In these events, you will find a scenic, traffic free course featuring apple blossoms, snow-capped mountains and the Columbia River. (Due to course restrictions, no wheelchairs or jogging stollers will be permitted.) Runners love the traffic-free course, the aid station support and the home town atmosphere. See the results page the for the Wenatchee World article recapping the 2005 event for what to expect. The Wenatchee Marathon is a 501(c)(3) organization that supports cancer research and local charities. Cancer research is a special interest of the race’s directors. Everyone knows someone who has suffered through cancer, and your race directors, Ian and Ted, have both been directly impacted and are committed to doing their part to fight the disease. You can help. The Wenatchee Marathon donates proceeds to the cancer biology lab at University of Pennsylvania. This lab is making amazing progress in fighting solid tumors genetically. Please check the cancer research page for updates from the lab on their progress. USATF certification for the Marathon and 10K courses: We hope you can join us for this great event to raise money for cancer research and local charities.
