Runners follow an out-and-back course over the Rio Grande and back at Albuquerque’s Chips & Salsa Half Marathon, which starts and finishes at the Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute, overlooking the river. From there, the course heads over to nearby Rio Rancho and back again to the Alameda side for a race that’s flat and fast for virtually the entire course, making it a popular choice for runners looking to set PR times.
