About the Event

Experience the legendary Walla Walla Grit as it returns to life for 2026 after its brief hiatus. This year’s edition promises three formidable routes—45-mile, 65-mile, and 95-mile—that will challenge even the most seasoned runners. The event kicks off at Quirk Brewing within the Walla Walla Airport District, a vibrant hub that offers an array of amenities including tasting rooms, cozy coffee shops, antique malls, and stunning views of the Blue Mountains.

The finish line celebration at Quirk Brewing ensures you’ll be well-rewarded for your efforts.
