Description

2015 Petrified Forest Marathon:


Run where no marathon has gone before…through “The Petrified Forest National Park”. Through an exclusive partnership between the City of Holbrook and the National Park Service we are able to provide runners with this opportunity.

 Your journey will take you past petrified wood that are millions of years old and through the majestic Painted Desert. Come run and experience one of the most unique marathons in the world.

 
The Petrified Forest Marathon takes place on a scenic, point-to-point course during the cool fall air. It starts on the north end of the Petrified Forest National Park and, goes straight south winding through the park to the south end. The road through the Petrified Forest National Park is 28 miles long and is ideal for a Marathon.
 
There are only 150 spots available for our  2nd Annual race so register now before all the spots are gone.

Event details and schedule

The Petrified Forest Marathon will take place on October 24, 2015. The race will start at 7:00AM from the north end of the park and finish at the south end.
