Immerse yourself in the vibrant culture and stunning landscapes of Santa Fe at the fifth annual Santa Fe International Half Marathon from September 18 to 20, 2026. This three-day celebration offers runners an unforgettable blend of scenic routes, community spirit, and cultural enrichment. The centerpiece event is a picturesque half marathon that winds through historic landmarks along Old Las Vegas Highway and culminates at the Railyard. With breathtaking views of Santa Fe’s iconic architecture, this 13.1-mile course invites participants to embrace both physical challenge and aesthetic beauty. The race features a strict cutoff time of three hours and thirty minutes. For those who prefer team collaboration or shorter distances, there's also the 3-Amigos Relay for groups of four and a 2.48-mile 4K Run starting at Railyard Community Garden. Both options provide opportunities to enjoy Santa Fe’s unique atmosphere while engaging with fellow runners. The weekend kicks off on Friday, September 18th, with an expansive Health and Wellness Expo held in the heart of Old Warehouse 21. Here, visitors can explore product demonstrations, engage with wellness experts for personalized advice, sample new products, and secure exclusive deals. The expo offers a perfect setting to register for races or pick up packets. Saturday, September 20th continues this energetic atmosphere as families join in on the fun at the Kids Run—a free one-kilometer dash open to children aged 3-14. Additionally, renowned African artist Gasali Adeyemo leads an indigo T-shirt workshop where kids can create custom race-themed shirts using traditional dyeing techniques. On Sunday, September 21st, participants gather early for a complimentary shuttle service from Santa Fe Railyard Park to the starting line at Eldorado (La Tienda Plaza). The half marathon and relay events begin promptly at 7:30 AM. Post-race celebrations are held at Nuckolls Brewing Company where runners can unwind with fellow competitors. Throughout the weekend, community members come together not only for athletic achievements but also to support a meaningful cause—the Kitany Water Project, which aims to bring clean water to underserved communities around the globe. The event promises an enriching experience that combines physical challenge and cultural immersion in one of America’s most picturesque settings.

About Santa Fe
Learn more about the host city, Santa Fe.
Santa Fe, founded in 1607, is the capital of the state of New Mexico and its principal tourist destination, renowned for its confluence of scenic beauty, long history, cultural diversity, and extraordinary concentration of arts, music and fine dining. With an elevation of 7,000 ft (2,100 m), it is not only the United States' oldest state capital but its highest, sitting at the foot of the spectacular Sangre de Cristo Mountains. And with a population of about 85,000 (2019), it's not the most populous capital, but that's part of its charm. This is not a capital that bustles with politicians but one that bustles with tourists, who flood the narrow streets around the town's plaza in the summer months to take in the beautiful adobe architecture, the unique cultural heritage, and the spectacular art that make Santa Fe one of the world's top travel destinations.
