Welcome to the 2026 Junior Gap2Gap! The Junior Gap2Gap is a high-energy race built just for kids, giving them a chance to get outside, get moving, and have fun on the Yakima Greenway. The course is designed to be approachable and exciting, helping young runners feel confident while still giving them a real race-day experience. From the starting line to the finish, it’s all about smiles, encouragement, and the thrill of crossing the line. With a lively atmosphere and plenty of support along the way, the Junior Gap2Gap creates a memorable moment for kids to challenge themselves, stay active, and enjoy the outdoors.

 

The race is broken into age a categories 8 and Under, 9-12 and 13-15 and new this year we're adding a family fun heat to the Jr. Gap2Gap! Following the same course as the 9-12 year olds, families of mixed ages are invited to sign up to participate in a fun heat. No prizes will be awarded the family fun heat, but we want to honor requests from the community for family teams and create new opportunity in light of the need to cancel the adult race.  Teams must have at least two youth members.

​

There will be awards for top three teams and individuals in the other categories. We are also bringing back the costume contest. This years theme is mythical creatures! Make sure to bring a costume because top team and individual in each age group gets awards!
