From the Race Organizer
Run for Your Life (R4YL) is an annual charity Fun Run/Walk & Community Fair organized by the students of Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences (PNWU) . First launched in 2011 on the university’s Terrace Heights campus, RFYL has grown into a cherished tradition that brings together students, families, and the greater Yakima community. As future health professionals, PNWU students are committed to promoting healthy lifestyles and fostering community well-being. RFYL offers a flat, easy course that’s accessible to all ages and fitness levels, making it a fun and inclusive event for everyone. More than just a run, RFYL is a family-friendly, safe, and health-focused celebration that allows students to give back to the region they hope to serve.
