On October 11, 2025, runners can choose among a USATF-certified half marathon, a 10K, or the heartfelt Heroes 5K, with all routes starting near Walla Walla Community College and traversing a mix of asphalt nature paths and gravel service roads around Bennington Lake and open grasslands. The half marathon features a chip-sealed out-and-back segment before looping back onto the 10K course, offering rolling hills with a fast, fast downhill return, while the 10K shares the latter portion of the same layout. The Heroes 5K honors three local healthcare heroes, running along the peaceful Millcreek nature pathway, and includes awards, t-shirts, commemorative glasses, and refreshments. All finishers receive medals, with post-race perks like food trucks, local craft beers (or root beer), lively music, and results ceremonies enhancing the festive atmosphere. The scenic valley views, elevation changes, and rewarding finish combine to make this a beloved autumn running tradition in Washington state.
