The Experience
The Chamna Chase half marathon is a small, low-key trail run that takes place in Richland, Washington. With only about 26 finishers in recent editions, this race offers an intimate experience far from the crowds of larger events. The course is almost perfectly flat, with no significant elevation gain, making it an accessible option for trail runners of all levels.
The race starts and finishes at the same location, likely a loop or out-and-back through the natural landscape along the Columbia River. The trail surface and surrounding trees provide a shaded, peaceful environment. Typical race-day weather is mild, with temperatures in the 40s to 60s and low precipitation, ideal for a fall outing.
Despite its small field, the Chamna Chase has been held for four editions as of 2022, with a steady number of participants. The lack of repeat runners suggests it remains a local gem rather than a destination race. For those seeking a quiet, no-frills half marathon on flat dirt trails, this is a hidden gem worth exploring.
