The Grand Columbian is committed to creating
an event where all athletes have a sense of
accomplishment and reward. In
recognition for the exceptional course,
reputation and community support the race
has been awarded age-group championship
and/or Grand Prix status numerous times.
In 2010, the Half-Iron is once again, the USAT National
Championship Qualifier. The Olympic distance
race is the Best of the US - Washington State
Qualifier. In addition, we have created a few special award
