Yeehaw Half Marathon Recap:

We're thrilled to reflect on the SECOND ANNUAL YEEHAW HALF MARATHON!

Huge congratulations to all the incredible participants who brought the energy and enthusiasm! Over 75 runners came together to conquer the 21.1km course in beautiful Whistler, BC.

What truly sets the Yeehaw Half apart is the unforgettable atmosphere. Smiles were abundant, high-fives exchanged freely, and the supportive spirit was contagious. It's a powerful reminder of the joy found in running alongside a like-minded community.

For many, this was a monumental first – their initial half marathon and race experience! The Yeehaw Half embraces inclusivity, fostering a welcoming environment where newcomers feel comfortable taking the plunge. We aim to break down barriers and provide a platform to connect with fellow running enthusiasts.

We understand that signing up for a major race can be daunting. That's why we offer a fun, supportive space for participants to embark on this journey. Our custom 12-week training plan (available online!), designed by Jenny Mc, was instrumental in guiding runners towards their goal throughout the summer.

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing volunteers – you're the backbone of this event! Their dedication ensures a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Big thanks to our incredible sponsors who helped make this event possible! All participants received goodie bags, and an exciting post-race raffle took place at the après festivities. A shoutout to:

YEEHAW HALF 2023 by Natural Freedom

Looking back on our biggest event yet, the Yeehaww Half Marathon held on September 23rd! With over 55 individuals, we embarked on a 21.1km journey through Whistler, braving both sunshine and rain.

The atmosphere was electric, filled with smiles, countless high fives, and unwavering encouragement throughout the entire adventure. For many participants, this marked their very first half marathon and race experience. Our mission with this event was to cultivate a welcoming, unsanctioned race that fosters community bonds and provides an opportunity for like-minded individuals to connect. Recognizing the intimidation that can come with signing up for a major race, we aimed to create a fun and supportive space for everyone to step out of their comfort zones and work towards a shared goal throughout the summer.

Every participant had the opportunity to follow a curated 12-week training plan to ensure physical preparedness for the event.

Our exceptional volunteers deserve so much recognition for their unwavering dedication in keeping spirits high, ensuring everyone remained hydrated, and guiding racers along the course as our chalk markings began to fade.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our sponsors for their invaluable support:

Gibbons Whistler

Organika Health

We eagerly anticipate the launch of the second annual Yeehaw Half Marathon.
