Sun City Barry James Memorial 5K and Half Marathon

The Sun City Barry James Memorial 5K and Half Marathon is a local October race series in Terrace Heights, Washington, featuring a 5K and a half marathon on the second Sunday of the month. The Hard Core Running Club of Central Washington organizes it, with the start and finish located at Volution Fitness on University Parkway. The half marathon course follows rolling roads alongside orchards, with aid stations positioned near miles 3.5, 7, and 10. Both runners and walkers are welcome in the half marathon, and the 5K offers a shorter distance on the same day. The event's pricing structure supports local participation: Hard Core Running Club members receive a discount, youth under 12 participate for free, and race-day registration is more expensive than early registration.
