Dear Runners, It has been two years since the drumbeat has stopped beating, and a Kudu horn calling to runners has been heard in Santa Fe, NM.
Let's run together to celebrate and honour Indigenous People's past, present, and future.
The Mwangaza Athletics Club invites you to join us to commemorate Indigenous People's Days and to appreciate their cultural roots and strength in NM and beyond.
The Santa Fe International Half Marathon, 5k and 1 mile, will be held on Sunday, October 9th,2022. At 7:30 am on Indigenous day weekend.
Starting in the heart of Santa Fe at historic Fort Marcy, the point-to-point course follows the Old Taos Highway, finishing at the magnificent Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino within the Pueblo. Of Pojoaque.
The 1,000-foot net downhill USAF-certified course (including 300 feet uphill) features spectacular views of the Sangre de Cristo and Jemez mountains while dropping into the colourful Rio Grande Valley. Inspired by live music along the course, runners will pass the Santa Fe Opera, the Village of Tesuque, Camel Rock, and through the Tesuque Pueblo on the way to Pojoaque along a route that our ancestors have run and walked for centuries.
For those desiring a shorter challenge, a 5K Run and a 1-mile Fitness Walk will take place at Buffalo Thunder, timed so participants will complete their events and be able to welcome half marathoners to the finish line.
Race proceeds benefit Mwangaza Athletics programs dedicated to bettering the lives of our next generation through the power of sports.
