Runners start the half marathon portion of the event at the half-way point of the full marathon, in the shadow of the actual Shiprock, on Route 13 and follows the full course to the finish line just off Highway 491. Thanks to its simple and mostly flat course, the half marathon offers views throughout the race of New Mexico’s vast, wide open spaces, and its rock and earth formations just off the roadway.
