Course Information
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.
