Palm Desert 1/2 Marathon & 5K 2027

The Palm Desert 1/2 Marathon & 5K provides the Coachella Valley with its sole half marathon. A shorter 5K, suitable for runners and walkers, takes place on the same February race weekend. The 5K course is flat and fast, making the event appropriate for those seeking a quick short race or for individuals progressing to the half marathon distance. Additionally, a 1K kids run is available for children up to age 13. Half marathon and 5K participants receive timing, an official race shirt, a finisher medal, and post-race food. Kids run participants are also given their own medal and food upon finishing.
