The Lost Dutchman Marathon, Inc.

Lost Dutchman Marthon Apache Junction Non-Profit of the Year 2016 plaque

Lost Dutchman Marthon was named the Apache Junction Non-Profit of the Year for 2016.

The Lost Dutchman Marathon, Inc. is a public charity run by an all-volunteer board of directors and officers with proceeds directed to local youth organizations focused on the economically disadvantaged.

From Inception

Since its establishment in 2002, the Lost Dutchman Marathon has donated over $838,000 to numerous local youth organizations.

The success of our marathon is heavily dependent on the unwavering dedication and enthusiasm of our race volunteers, who are often sourced by the organizations we support.

Your support, as a participant, a sponsor, a volunteer or as a contributor is appreciated and essential for continued success of the organization. As we prepare for our 23^rd event, we are excited about our ongoing sponsorship of children in need, and staging of a world class event.
