Lampson Cable Bridge Run

The Lampson Cable Bridge Run guides runners and walkers across the Columbia River on the cable bridge connecting Kennewick and Pasco during the holiday season. This Tri-Cities winter tradition offers 10K, 5K, and one-mile fun run choices, attracting a diverse group beyond just dedicated racers. Attendance can number in the low thousands, with participants braving cold weather that has featured snow and ice in previous years. The run begins near the Lampson office building in Kennewick, proceeding across the bridge toward the Lampson crane yard in east Pasco. The bridge is closed to traffic for the event, providing participants a unique opportunity to traverse it on foot as part of an organized run. The race has been a fixture on the local holiday schedule for 47 years, and finishers can expect medals and refreshments at the Lampson yard. A recent addition includes a medal series for those who participate in multiple consecutive years, allowing them to assemble a cable bridge design over four editions.
