31st
Annual Snake River Canyon Half Marathon
Saturday,
March 6, 2010
A message from the 2010 Snake River
Canyon Half Marathon:
Absolutely amazing. 688 finishers, 265 more than
last year. All of this couldn't have been done without the efforts of
volunteers including the Asotin and Moscow High School Cross Country Teams
and our sponsors, Tri-State, Palouse Falls Brewing Company, ATP Beverages,
Runners Soul, and Culligan.
Race results are below. Please look through them and make sure they are
correct. Every effort was made to make the necessary corrections before
posting. If something does look wrong, please email me at lwg104@yahoo.com.
I will make the corrections as soon as possible.
Those that filled out envelopes at the race to receive shirts will receive
them in 2-3 weeks. A shirt order will be made on Monday or Tuesday of this
week.
Thank you all for participating in this years Snake River Canyon Half
Marathon. It was my hope as a race director to make this a success, and I
hope in all of your eyes that it was. Please feel free to email me with any
concerns or improvements that can be made next year.

| This 31st annual run along the winding Snake River between spectacular basalt cliffs will mark the start of the 2010 running season on the Palouse. A record 423 runners and walkers crossed the finish line at the 30th Annual Snake River Canyon Half Marathon. Last year’s race drew participants from as far away as Boise, Seattle and even Vermont. Most came from Moscow (111) followed closely by Spokane (107). With this number of runners, the Palouse Road Runners are more committed than ever to put on a quality race. With the help of Tri-State and our new group of co-sponsors, the 31st Annual Snake River Canyon Half Marathon will be better than ever. |
