Summer may be over, but we’re not quite ready to let go. 🌊☀️
From paddleboarding and boating to sunset walks and afternoons spent along the shore, some of the best Tri-Cities memories are made on the river.

Now we want to see Life on the River through your eyes. 💙

📸 Send us your favorite photo from a day spent on or along our rivers for a chance to be featured by Visit Tri-Cities!

For the next two weeks, we’ll be looking back at the moments that made this river season one to remember.

Three more years of IRONMAN® 70.3® Washington Tri-Cities!

As we head into race weekend, we’re excited to share that IRONMAN will return to the Tri-Cities for three more years!

Since 2024, athletes and their supporters have traveled from near and far to race along the Columbia River, explore our region and experience everything the Tri-Cities has to offer.

We’re proud to continue this event alongside IRONMAN and our city partners in Richland and West Richland, who help make this incredible race experience possible.

This weekend, we get to do it all again — with three more years to look forward to. Welcome to race weekend!
