High Mountain Half Marathon Decade Anniversary 2026
The High Mountain Half Marathon Decade Anniversary 2026 is held over a weekend in Lakeside, Arizona, centered at Blue Ridge High School. The event program includes several running events and community activities around the school and nearby roads and paths.
The half marathon is a point-to-point course. Runners are bused from Blue Ridge High School to the start and finish at the Blue Ridge High School track. The route passes through cedar and pine trees, travels down Porter Mountain, and enters the town of Pinetop/Lakeside.
