Join the Grand Canyon Trail Half Marathon for a running adventure in the serene Kaibab National Forest, near the South Rim at the Grand Canyon. Locally supported, Trail Sisters approved, for runners and walkers.
Run or walk through the stunning Kaibab National Forest, nestled on the Coconino Plateau just a hop, skip, and jump away from the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon South Rim. The race kicks off in Tusayan, Arizona, where you’ll find the start/finish line and all the post-race festivities. The course is within the recently designated Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument. Get set for a thrilling and challenging course that’ll take you on a beautiful ride under a canopy of trees, past tree-lined cliffs, and under historic railroad tracks. Who knows, you might even be lucky enough to spot some of the local wildlife!
Once you’ve crossed the finish line, grab your coveted souvenir medal, relax at the beer garden, and check out the artisan fair with locally-made jewelry, artwork, and other offerings from local and Tribal artisans. After you’ve recovered, head a few miles up the road to check out the scenery at the Grand Canyon. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience nature’s majesty at its finest! Your donations help support the vital services provided by the two local non-profits: the Tusayan Fire Department and the Grand Canyon Food Pantry.
The Grand Canyon Trail Half Marathon is produced by life-long runners who know the beauty of running, walking, and hiking through scenic and challenging terrain . . . and developed in partnership with the Town of Tusayan, the Tusayan Fire Department, the IMAX Visitor Center, the Kaibab National Forest, and other local community members.
