Run For Your Life

Run for Your Life (RFYL) is an annual charity 5k Fun Run/Walk & Health Fair organized by the students at PNWU. The first annual event was held in 2011 on PNWU’s campus in Terrace Heights.

As future health professionals, students aim to bring the community together to promote healthy lifestyles. This event has become a way for PNWU students to contribute to the greater Yakima area by providing a family-friendly, healthy, and safe activity.

All funds raised are designated for PNWU scholarships to continue bringing students from rural and medically underserved areas to educate, train, and return to serve others.
