Event Description
Wenatchee's first-ever Solstice Run will take place beginning at 6 p.m. June 21 at Pybus Public Market.
The 5K course will begin and end outside Pybus, located along the Columbia River waterfront. Runners and walkers will travel by Badger Mountain Brewery, Columbia Valley Brewery and Wenatchee Valley Brewery - the three make up Wenatchee Brewers Row craft brewery district - where they will receive wrist bands. Once back at Pybus, the wrist bands will gain participants entry to a post-race party in the new Pybus Annex to celebrate the longest day of the year. Each brewery will be pouring their beers. This family friendly event also will include non-alcoholic beverages, snacks and live music.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are planning on having a beer, you must have your ID with you. We will be carding everyone, no exceptions.
A partnership involving Pybus Market, Wenatchee Brewers Row, RunWenatchee, and the Wenatchee Valley Chamber of Commerce are the organizers behind the Solstice Run.
