About this race

The Santa Fe International Half Marathon 2-Person Half Marathon Relay on September 15, 2024, in Santa Fe, NM, offers a unique team-based running experience. While the specific historical details of this particular relay format are not provided, the Santa Fe International Half Marathon itself has a reputation for scenic beauty and challenging terrain. Participants should anticipate a well-organized event designed for camaraderie and shared accomplishment.

Runners can expect a course that showcases the stunning high-desert landscape of Santa Fe.
