About Us

RunWenatchee is all things running and walking in the Wenatchee Valley and Chelan and Douglas counties. We put on official road and trail races each year, along with weekly Thursday night club runs/walks, and weekly track workouts. Our programs help people get more fit, attract tourism dolĀ­lars to the region, and generate money for local nonprofits.

Through these efforts, RunWenatchee embraces not only the sport of running, but also this incredible region along the east slopes of the North Cascades.
