Durango Marathon : October 11, 2026
The Durango Marathon is the inaugural road race event held in Durango, Colorado, on October 11, 2026. The event offers paved courses that wind through and around Durango, with a start and finish near historic downtown and the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad Station. The race takes place during peak autumn foliage, with crisp high-country air and views of the surrounding San Juan Mountains.
Most of the course runs on wide road shoulders with minimal closures. The event includes fully supported aid stations, accurate timing, finisher medals and shirts, and a finish-line atmosphere with music, awards, and local food and drink options. Organizers present professional race operations alongside small-town hospitality.
The Durango Marathon is presented as a weekend experience that can coincide with fall hiking, visits to local breweries, restaurants, and downtown shopping. The event program includes multiple distances:
- 26.2 Miles Durango Marathon
- 13.1 Miles Durango Half Marathon
- 5K Durango Marathon Weekend 5k
Registration windows and fees are listed for each distance, with registration opening in December 2025 and closing in early February 2026 for most distances. Specific operational details such as aid station locations and course maps are provided by the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
