29 Miles Marathon Relay Run Trail Ultra

Experience the beauty and spirit of Kittitas County as you run through breathtaking natural landscapes and charming small towns along the historic Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail. This unique course follows the former Milwaukee Road railroad corridor—offering runners an unforgettable journey through tunnels, bridges, and scenic backcountry terrain.

A Washington State Discovery Pass is required.

Teams of four (male, female, or co-ed) will each tackle a leg of the race, combining endurance, teamwork, and adventure in a celebration of outdoor fitness.

As noted in The Financial Times article, “The Rise of the Relay Marathon,” “Relays are the perfect Venn diagram of fitness trends: a mix of ultra-marathoning, trail running, and the great outdoors.” Come be part of this exciting trend—right here in the heart of Washington!

    Welcome to Run Like The Wind Trail Running Festival! In collaboration with Puget Sound Energy, Wild Horse Wind and Solar Facility and Run for Good Racing Company we present to you a 5K, 10K, and a free kids dash, woven along the trails, paths and roads of the majestic wind turbines outside of Ellensburg.

    These races will be challenging, most likely with a bit of wind, and more certainly with a lot of elevation gain and drop and a few tough trails, but gorgeous with views of Mt. Rainier, the Columbia River and the Eastern Washington plains.

    Get a guided tour of the wind farm either before or after your race and see the awesome power of the wind.

    Beer courtesy of Iron Horse Brewery, and great, homemade food await you at the finish line.

    Space is limited to 200 participants so sign up now and get your wind on!

    Swag:

    Everyone will receive a race shirt, sweet finisher's wooden medal, and custom race bib. But, in order to lessen our environmental impact, we’re partnering with Trees Not Tees to offer you the option of planting a tree instead of receiving our event swag. You’ll receive a certificate from Trees Not Tees that includes a picture of your tree, details of the species, and a unique geo-location address so you can even go and visit.

    Join us Saturday, May 2, 2026 in Tieton for the fifth Never Say Never!!! This race is all about YOU! Every decision we make has YOU in mind. This is a race designed for everyone from first timers to seasoned racers to all of those in-between. It is a picturesque course with one sizable hill around mile 2 followed by flat road for the rest of the 10K and rolling hills for the remainder of the Half Marathon.

    There will be NINE water stations this year. There are six bathroom opportunities, and lots of fans cheering you on along the way.

    We are again partnering with BOX, a nonprofit organization founded by women, dedicated to building connections that support women and girls. In 2021 we donated $4,100 to the Highland School District, in 2022 we donated $2,000 plus products to Davis High School, in 2023 we presented a $3,000 check to Rod’s House plus a ton of period products, and in 2024 we were beyond proud to write an $8,300 to Children's Village. This was our biggest donation by far!!!! This year we are proud to announce we raised $9,000 for Yakima's YWCA!

    We are so excited and proud to announce we will be raising money for Nathan's Place. When we started this crazy dream we raised money for Highland High School (unfortunately we did not have a race that year because of smoke) so, because this is our last year putting on the Never Say Never we wanted to again raise money for our hometown.

    Nathan's Place was born just last year! Some amazing members of our community who noticed that our high school kids have no place to hang out after school dedicated their time and resources to create a gathering place. They have been worked tirelessly to make Nathan's Place more than just a dream. Nathan’s Place is a “safe, inclusive and supportive environment where [6th-12th grade] kids can grow through educational programs, mentorship, and mental wellness support.” Click here to find out more about Nathan’s Place. Your donations this year are going to make the biggest difference yet!

    Flying pig trophies will be back again for first, second, and third place women and men runners and walkers for the Half Marathon and the 10K.

    However, if even a 10K doesn’t sound fun come for the Finish Line Celebration Party! This is FREE to attend and welcome to all! Come cheer on the racers, get fabulous grub from Tacos Don Chayo, get refreshed with local beverages from Shorthead, Tieton Cider, and French Canyon Cellars, play yard games, partake in our raffle, and the WHEEL of FUN will be back again for even more prizes!
