PHOENIX - Remembrance Day Marathon & Half 2026

Join us for the tenth edition of our Remembrance Day Marathon & Half Marathon, an extraordinary tribute that honors those who have served with unwavering dedication. This landmark year promises to be even more special than ever before, as we continue a tradition that has captivated runners and spectators alike since its inception.
The event takes place on Remembrance Sunday, November 8th, at the picturesque riverside towpath where history meets heroism. Participants will experience an unparalleled race environment with unique features such as a "race freeze" precisely timed to coincide with the national remembrance moment. At exactly 11:00 am, all runners and spectators will pause for two minutes of silence in honor of fallen heroes, creating a deeply moving atmosphere that resonates throughout the course.
The marathon route consists of four out-and-back laps along the flat towpath, offering runners an opportunity to showcase their endurance on this fast and scenic trail. The half marathon follows a similar layout with just two laps, ensuring all participants can partake in the solemn tribute while still enjoying challenging yet manageable distances.
One of the highlights for many is undoubtedly the commemorative medal awarded upon completion. This year's design has been meticulously crafted to reflect the event’s significance, making it a cherished keepsake and a testament to your participation in this unique celebration of remembrance and running.
Early entrants will also have the chance to secure one of the first 100 spots eligible for exclusive bling enhancements that add an extra layer of prestige to their achievement. Given past years’ popularity, securing a place early is crucial as entries are strictly limited.
Whether you're an avid marathoner or prefer the half marathon distance, this event offers a profound and unforgettable experience where every step taken honors those who have made sacrifices for peace and freedom. Don't miss your chance to be part of something truly special on Remembrance Sunday.
