Death Valley Marathon

The Death Valley Marathon, Half Marathon, and 10K take place annually in Death Valley National Park, California, offering runners a unique desert experience. The course is an out-and-back route starting near Furnace Creek Ranch, running along Highway 190 through scenic Mustard Canyon. It is relatively flat, with less than 500 feet of elevation change, and entirely below sea level, providing stunning views of surrounding mountain ranges.

The event features aid stations every three miles and strict safety rules, including no headphones due to open road traffic. With mild winter temperatures and a limited field of 300 participants, it is a distinctive race combining challenging conditions with breathtaking natural beauty.
