Run for Your Life (RFYL) is an annual charity Fun Run/Walk & Community Fair organized by the students of Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences (PNWU). First launched in 2011 on the university’s Terrace Heights campus, RFYL has grown into a cherished tradition that brings together students, families, and the greater Yakima community.

As future health professionals, PNWU students are committed to promoting healthy lifestyles and fostering community well-being. RFYL offers a flat, easy course that’s accessible to all ages and fitness levels, making it a fun and inclusive event for everyone.

More than just a run, RFYL is a family-friendly, safe, and health-focused celebration that allows students to give back to the region they hope to serve. All proceeds support PNWU scholarships, helping students from rural and medically underserved areas receive the education and training needed to return and care for their communities.

    7th Annual Yakima Mile -- Saturday, June 6, 2026

    The course follows a one-mile, gradual downhill stretch of Yakima Ave. finishing in the shadows of Yakima’s historic Larson Building. Yakima Mile is open to kids, families, dogs, veterans, elite runners, and all those who want to run their fastest mile…. EVER (or walk, or jog... as you like).

    The Elite Mile races bring together many of the fastest milers from around the nation in hopes of breaking the Fastest Mile in Washington – yet again – and taking home some big cash prizes. Sam Prakel currently holds the men's fastest mile in Washington time of 3:50.5 and Nikki Hiltz holds the women's record at 4:20.5.

    Competitive races are stacked across the board with cash prizes – the total purse for 2026 is over $60,000. Including $10,000 across the TOP 3 groups by number of finishers. If you are interested in participating in the TRU-ly RAD Group Challenge at this year's Yakima Mile, reach out to hello@yakimamile.org
