Colorado's Newest Fall Classic.
Join us on October 11, 2026, for the inaugural Durango Marathon, Half Marathon, and 5K—a scenic road race experience through one of Colorado's most beautiful mountain communities.
Starting and finishing at Santa Rita Park along the banks of the Animas River, runners will enjoy crisp autumn temperatures, spectacular fall colors, sweeping views of the San Juan Mountains, and a course designed to showcase the best of Durango. Whether you're chasing a personal best, checking a marathon off your bucket list, or simply looking for an unforgettable race-cation, the Durango Marathon offers a unique combination of challenge, beauty, and community.
As a first-year event, participants have the opportunity to become part of race history and help establish what we hope will become one of the premier fall running events in the Four Corners region.
