High Mountain Half Marathon

The High Mountain Half Marathon, held in Lakeside, Arizona, offers a scenic point-to-point course through cedar and pine forests along Porter Mountain, finishing at Blue Ridge High School. Scheduled for early August, the event features a half marathon, 10K, 5K, and a Friday night Glow Run/Walk. The half marathon serves as a cool, refreshing escape from lower elevation heat and a great fall marathon training race.

Additional activities include a free kids' 1K run and a colorful glow run with paint splashes. The race emphasizes safety with time limits and checkpoints, and packet pickup is available at Blue Ridge High School. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
