Arizona Runner's Favorite

The Lost Dutchman Marathon and it's associated races are a favorite of serious marathoners and casual runners alike. This event is held annually over President's day weekend near the rumored site of the legendary Lost Dutchman Mine. Runners can depend on a beautiful location, excellent weather, great volunteers, and fast times.
FABULOUS! From registration to the finish line, this race is so well organized. The course is beautiful, the support staff are wonderful and the spectators are energizing. This will be my "must run" race every year.
With 38 years of marathon experience, I'm delighted to say that the 2024 Lost Dutchman Marathon was the best "small" race that I have experienced. Superb organization and wonderful volunteer support. I will definitely run the LDM again!
This was my 40th marathon and one of the best - if not the best - in terms of local spirit and volunteer presence. I was really impressed with the organization and execution of this race. If you're looking for a smallish winter marathon with a high likelihood of good weather, this is one to consider!
