Details
An annual race that is part of the Flagstaff Summer Running Series and
benefits the local Big Brothers & Big Sisters of Flagstaff, the
Run For The Magic Half Marathon offers a hilly, challenging 13.1 miles
along a combination of paved city streets, dirt roads and single-track
mountain trails. The half-marathon and 5K, both of which start and
finish at Wheeler Park in downtown Flagstaff, take runners into nearby
Thorpe Park and are open to both runners and walkers.
Runners considering this race need to be ready for high altitudes --
the race course lies at an elevation of about 7,000 feet above sea
level, and the course takes runners into the hilly mountain areas just
outside the city in Thorpe Park, up to Observatory Mesa and along the
Flagstaff Urban Trail system.
