Gilbert Half Marathon

The Gilbert Half Marathon is an annual running event organized by the Shun the Sun Foundation, aimed at raising awareness about skin cancer and promoting healthy lifestyles. Established in 2009, the race moved to Gilbert, Arizona in 2014 and features USATF-certified courses for the half marathon, 10K, and 5K distances. The event not only encourages community participation but also supports educational initiatives on skin cancer prevention and early detection.

The next race is scheduled for November 22, 2025, and will include a Post-Race Expo at the Verde @ Cooley Station development, enhancing the experience for participants and spectators alike. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
