Yuma Territorial Marathon, Half Marathon, 10k and Team Relay

CERTIFIED COURSE

With favorable elevations and weather, the course is conducive to setting your best times and provides an excellent opportunity to qualify for the Boston Marathon. The Marathon course is certified by the USATF. The course is an out and back course with minimal elevation change. Most of the race is run on the flats going downhill for about 74 feet at the start and running back up the 74 feet a couple of miles before the finish.

RACE COURSE

Due to the nature of the Yuma Territorial Marathon and Half Marathon Course only registered runners will be allowed on the course. Bicycles, strollers and unregistered runners will not be allowed on the course. Runners will be running on the shoulder of a highway. Remember, that although this is a closed course with law enforcement providing traffic control, you are still running on the side of a highway. Please be aware of your surroundings at all times and be safe at all times.

MILEAGE MARKERS

The race is marked off each mile, with hydration stations at almost every marker. There will be a couple of first aid stations on the course as well.

DRINKS AND NUTRITION 

Bring any pre-race drinks or nutrition you may require to the start of the race Saturday morning. Each aid station will have water and Gatorade for hydration as well as items to provide some nutrition. Coffee and hot chocolate will be provided prior to the race near the start/finish line.

MEDALS/SHIRTS

Free event t-shirts go to the first 1,000 participants to check in on race day, one per person, while supplies last. Sizes are first come, first served and can't be guaranteed, so arrive early for the best selection! All participants registered before January 15th will receive a finishers medal.
