Race Info
The Durango Marathon debuts October 11, 2026, in Durango, Colorado, alongside a half marathon and 5K. The out-and-back course starts and finishes at Santa Rita Park on the Animas River, climbs through eastern Durango past Fort Lewis College, then returns along the Animas River Trail at an elevation between roughly 6,500 and 6,900 feet. The race is timed for peak fall foliage and passes near Durango's historic downtown with views of the San Juan Mountains. It is organized by Black Bear Events and Timing, a Durango race and timing company founded in 2020.
