As a small volunteer-run nonprofit, the ability to manage a race with COVID-19 measures is beyond our current capacity. So, instead we’re making the Fall Flash a virtual 5k and 10k! The twist is that all runners will be entered into raffles for prizes. Entry fees will go towards purchasing prizes locally in efforts to support local businesses which have struggled through the pandemic.

With regret, we are canceling the 2020 race due to concerns over COVID-19. We hope you will join us next year.
Please bear with us as we process full refunds for participants. Team captains please watch for an email about refunds and deferrals.

Congratulations to all those who braved the rain to race the Snake River Canyon Half. It is always a great race to kick off the spring racing season. Many thanks to everyone who helped make the event happen, we could not do it without you.
The Snake River Half Marathon is directed by the Palouse Road Runners on the first Saturday in March every year. It is the first big race of the season for the Quad Cities area. SRCHM is a beautiful river canyon out-and-back course on the Wawawai River Road along the Snake River. The flat and paved course is USATF certified. The start and finish are at Wawawai Landing at a river elevation of about 720 feet. Weather in the canyon is quite warm for March with finish line temperatures close to 50F.
Are your favorite mountain trails covered in snow?
Do you need motivation to hit the pavement when the skies are gray and low?
Have you always wanted to visit Pullman, WA during the winter?
You're in luck! Pullman now has a cure for the Inland NW winter ultrarunning blues.
IMPORTANT: The Pullman Winter Ultra Series is a no-fee, low-key, no-support, slip-on-ice, freeze-your-toes-off, drink-a-beer-afterward-or-during, fun-run-style event.
Congratulations to all those who raced the Fall Flash, it was a blast! Many thanks to everyone who helped make the event happen. For more photos check out our Facebook group.

Palouse Road Runners members and Moscow Mountain Madness participants (and Snake River Half finishers!) are invited to TWO FREE YOGA SESSIONS designed specifically for runners, sandwiching Moscow Mountain Madness. Both classes will be taught by Sheila Fitzgerald at Sanctuary Yoga, in the hot room, which will be turned down to 85F. feel free to bring your own mat, towel, and water. mats and towels are available to rent to the studio, as well as water to purchase, water from the fountain, and showers.
SATURDAY
1 p.m.: pre-race shakeout flow (60 minutes)
this yoga session is about moving with your breath, getting loose, and enjoying the hot room. all are encouraged to listen to your own body, take directions as suggestions and let your own body be your guide. the session will have more of an emphasis on breath work, light cardio and hip openers, and LESS about strenuous holds and balance postured (unless you want to!). This session is NOT meant to tire us out before the race!
MONDAY
7 p.m. post-race recovery flow (60 minutes)
Hamstrings tight? Quads on fire? We’ve got you covered. This session will have all the juicy hip and heart openers your body craves after a long hard trail race! There will be an emphasis on breath work and stretching and relaxing. Think Yin and Restorative. there will be minimal light cardio to acclimate us to the hot room (85F), and lots of passive and floor stretching.
Congratulations to all the solos and teams who ran the Palouse 100k, you guys rocked the wind, rain & hail that makes springtime here such an adventure. Many thanks to everyone who helped make the event happen and a thank you to our sponsors: Pullman Regional Hospital, Hammer Nutrition and Tri-State Outfitters.
