Marathon 2 Marathon 2026

Marathon2Marathon is a small West Texas race day in October, offering a marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K. The marathon is a Boston qualifier, attracting runners seeking a fast qualifying time, alongside those preferring a more subdued race in a small high-desert town. The field typically numbers closer to 500 than 5,000 participants. The course takes advantage of the region's dry, cool climate and a gradual downhill gradient, featuring low traffic and another downhill section leading to the finish. The race embraces its remote location with the motto “the hard part is getting there.” Upon finishing, lunch is provided. As the town's largest event, all proceeds benefit the local health center, school, and fire department.
