Run for Your Life

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. All proceeds support PNWU scholarships, helping students from rural and medically underserved areas receive the education and training needed to return and care for their communities.
