Lampson Cable Bridge Run

Lampson Cable Bridge Run is held in Kennewick, Washington, on December 19, 2026, with three events all starting at 9:00 a.m.: a timed 10K, a timed 5K run/walk, and an untimed 1-mile fun run. The course runs along the Columbia River and finishes at the Lampson warehouse, where refreshments are served. Finisher medals go to the first 2,200 across the line, chip timing is used for the timed races, age-group awards are handed out, and there is a free category for children aged four and under, who get a special bib and a finisher ribbon.

A riverside route is easy to pace, but a bridge crossing adds a stretch where holding effort steady matters more than holding pace, so ease off on the way up rather than fighting for even splits. The 10K is the better test of that discipline; the 5K suits a shorter build. Six weeks with one weekly long run of an hour prepares either.
