Runners start the race near Santa Fe’s historic Fort Marcy, and from there follow a point-to-point course from the city of Santa Fe all the way to the area known as the Pojoaque Valley, where runners will finish the race at the Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino, whose buildings and interiors mirror the styles you see in nearby Santa Fe. The last few miles unfold along a downhill stretch in the shadow of the Santa Fe National Forest, taking runners past the Tesuque Village Market as well as Camel Rock.
