From ancient Pueblo Indian paths to El Camino Real to the Santa Fe Trail - Santa Fe has been a sought after destination for centuries. Global Running Culture welcomes you to join us and legendary Olympic Gold Medalist Billy Mills for the second annual running of a unique destination half marathon.
Starting in the heart of 400 year old Santa Fe, you'll head north down the Old Taos Highway and its unparalleled views of the Sangre de Cristo and Jemez mountains. As you pass the Santa Fe Opera, the Rio Grande Valley opens before you and your destination 1,000 feet below – the magnificent Buffalo Thunder Casino in the Pojoaque Pueblo.
For those desiring a shorter challenge, a 5K Run and 1 mile fitness walk will take place at Buffalo Thunder, timed so participants will complete their events in time to watch the Half Marathon finishers arrive.
You will have a truly special opportunity to meet Mr. Mills, the Official Race Starter, as part of an unforgettable race weekend experience. Come share the scenery, history, culture, flavor and vibrant Fall colors that combine to create the Land of Enchantment - Vamanos!
