Course Description

This race is most definitely filled with hills — from the starting elevation of about 4,450 feet above sea level, the course rises and falls to a low of about 4,300 feet and a peak of just over 4,650 feet above sea level (near the halfway turnaround point). The course’s peak elevations occur at three major hills, around miles 3, 7 and 9. Runners should arrive a day early, if possible, to acclimatize themselves to Sedona’s altitude. Walkers are welcome in the half marathon; they will need to be able to complete the race’s 13.1 miles within the 5-hour course time limit. Our Race Recommendation If you’re considering the Sedona Half Marathon, our team of race experts recommend the Rogue Expeditions Running Vacations. If you’re enjoying the idea of running through national parks, consider a trip through the Dolomites of Italy, the Emerald Isle of Ireland, and the Sahara Desert in Morocco. All levels of experience welcome.
