The Downtown Yakima Mile is a one-mile race down a beautiful 14-block gradual downhill stretch of Yakima Avenue, finishing in the shadows of the historic Larson Building. Open to runners of all ages and abilities who “want to run their fastest mile…..EVER”.

Run for fun. Run for health. Run for the record. Run to show your community spirit. Run to support survivors of domestic abuse. The Downtown Yakima Mile is back in 2021! The Downtown Yakima Mile is much more than a race. It’s about bringing our community together in fun, fitness, and in support of important causes that serve our friends and neighbors right here in the Yakima Valley. Everyone has their own reason to run, particularly this year as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. Yakima’s only downtown community fitness event challenges both individuals and our community to come together on a day where everybody wins and records may fall:

This year the Downtown Yakima Mile supports YWCA Yakima, whose motto is “eliminating racism; empowering women.” The Downtown Yakima Mile seeks to shed light on the invaluable services that the YWCA Yakima provides in hopes that the community will also join in the effort to end domestic violence in our community by participating in the event. We invite you to join us! https://www.yakimamile.com/
