Course:

The half marathon route begins and ends at the LCR Navajo Tribal Park’s Shadow Mountain Viewpoint.  The half marathon course will be on a local route that heads over 6 ½ miles up to the upper overlook along dirt roads, double-track, the historic highway 64 and singletrack trail.  The course is challenging and very scenic, and should most definitely be approached as a trail run.  There are dramatic and sheep drop-offs of 1500 feet at a couple locations. on the half marathon route, so please be aware of your surroundings and your footing.

The 10K course is an out and back on the same route taken by the half marathon runners.  The terrain is rocky and some sections are difficult, particularly between 10K miles 2-4.  (The course is subject to adjustments at the discretion of park officials and/or the race organizers, or if the weather dictates a change.)

There is a 2-mile community fun run that starts and ends at the same start/finish line.  There is no fee for the fun run, and runners receive a medal and snacks.
