The Santa Fe International Half Marathon

The race offers a variety of options tailored to different interests:
- Half Marathon: A scenic 13.1-mile journey starting at La Tienda Plaza Eldorado, winding through the historic Old Las Vegas Highway before reaching the stunning Railyard finish line. The course promises breathtaking views of Santa Fe’s iconic landmarks.
