Are you ready to compete at the 2008 Yakima Greenway Gap2Gap relay race?

The Gap2Gap relay is a multi-sport race comprised of five legs: fjeld run, mountain bike, kayak/canoe, road bike, and 10K run. The Sport Gap2Gap features an in-line skate leg in place of the water leg, shorter mountain bike leg, and a 5K run. The race takes place on and around the Yakima Greenway, along the scenic Yakima River.  With the improvements made during the off season to the course, the race is poised to be a great success this year.   What could be any better than the feeling of a close group of friends or colleagues together competing and accomplishing an excellent course like the Gap2Gap.  You get a endorphin rush plus help keep yourself in great physical shape.

The Junior Gap2Gap is a version of the race for kids 8-14. Kids run, bike, rollerblade, paddle in Reflection Pond, and navigate an obstacle course in Sarg Hubbard Park.  We are expecting more junior racers than last year and have an improved obstacle course for junior race this year.

Come pick up your registration form at the Yakima Greenway Foundation’s office in Sarg Hubbard Park or register online.  Good luck and Thank you for your support of the Yakima Greenway Foundation Gap2Gap.
