If you’ve ever watched U2’s iconic 1983 “Under a Blood Red Sky” concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver, you’ve seen a glimpse of the dramatic landscapes and stunning scenery that await the over 3,000 runners who join the Sedona Half Marathon, 10K & 5K each year. These races guide participants through the heart of central Arizona’s breathtaking red rock spires and mountain valleys. New for 2024, runners can also experience the Sedona airport runway in the 1-Mile Run The Runway event!
The half marathon is consistently ranked as one of the best in the U.S by multiple media outlets. This is a challenging, hilly race at high elevation, following a 13.1-mile out-and-back course along Dry Creek Road. This route is filled with amazing red rock formations and picturesque views, so get ready for some ups and downs while you soak in the natural beauty. There’s a 5-hour course limit for all races, with the course closing at 1:00 PM.
