The USATF El Dorado Half Marathon & 5K is held in the vibrant streets of El Dorado. The course starts and ends at the historic train depot, and takes you through the Praire Trails Golf Course, residential neighborhoods, El Dorado State Park, and the El Dorado High and Middle Schools. Runners initially follow a flat road, then encounter a small hill around the 1-mile mark, all while surrounded by the hills and natural beauty of El Dorado.
