Albuquerque, New Mexico
The Experience
Join us on August 10, 2025 for the Rio Grande Half Marathon, New Mexico's premier half marathon. This race runs through the beautiful Albuquerque Bosque complete with views of the Rio Grande, beautiful Bosque cottonwood forest, mighty Sandia Mountains, and expansive New Mexico skies. The course is flat from start to finish so whether you're in search of a PR, looking for a fall marathon tune-up race, or just want to have fun, it’s the perfect race for you! If a half marathon isn't your thing, you can always participate in the One Medal 5k Run/Walk!
Our best-in-class technical finisher shirts and medals have a distinctly New Mexico flair that you will not find elsewhere. Post-race fun takes place at the Finish Line Fiesta where you’ll enjoy awesome live music, refreshing local craft beer from Canteen Brewhouse, and New Mexico breakfast burritos from Golden Pride.
Whether you're a local or are from out of state, the Rio Grande Half Marathon is the perfect race for you. Don’t miss out on the action and register today!
