*The Taos Marathon has been postponed to Sunday October 11, 2020 due to COVID-19 related health and safety concerns. Should our events be held on Oct. 11, 2020 there will be no full Marathon due to climate, and the necessary early start time. We hope everyone is staying stafe and healthy and practicing social distancing. See you in October!
The Taos Marathon is a scenic, intimate event inspired by our relaxed mountain town and its historical place in the running community. Our directors strive to create an experience for running enthusiasts who run for the love of the sport. Our athlete t-shirts are still cotton, and we like it that way. Our roads are narrow, and we like it that way. Our entry fees are some of the lowest you'll find and, well, we like it that way. If you are looking for the big promoted race event, this may not be the one for you. Please do register early to be assured a number, we are maxed at 300 total event participants for all races due to Town of Taos safety provisions.
