Coming May 17, 2014. Be part of the inaugural year for theĀ Grand Canyon Half Marathon in the Vacation Race Series. This series offers half marathon races in or near national parks like Zion, Yellowstone, and the Great Smoky Mountains and is designed to allow you to race on Saturday, have enough time to recover in the afternoon, then hike the national park on Sunday in order to make a vacation out of the event. The Grand Canyon Half Marathon course starts outside the South Rim of the Canyon and travels on mainly dirt trails at an elevation of 6651 feet. You have 4 hours to complete the race which should allow plenty of time even if you would like to walk the course (18 minute mile pace). The race starts early so you’ll be done by 11am and have plenty of time to explore the Canyon after!
