Grand Canyon Trail Half Marathon
The Grand Canyon Trail Half Marathon and 5k is a scenic trail running event held near the South Rim of the Grand Canyon in Tusayan, Arizona. The half marathon covers approximately 13.1 miles through the rugged terrain of Kaibab National Forest on the Coconino Plateau, featuring forest jeep roads, rocky and dirt trails, rolling hills, and a final paved section along the Arizona Trail. The 5k is an out-and-back route combining paved and dirt forest roads.
The race offers a challenging course with beautiful forested views, historic railroad crossings, and wildlife sightings. Participants receive a souvenir medal, long-sleeve shirt, and post-race refreshments. The event supports local nonprofits and includes community festivities at the IMAX Visitor Center.
