About This Race
Capitol Ford presents the fifth annual Santa Fe International Half Marathon. This event welcomes runners of all ages and abilities, whether you're looking for a personal best, trying out a new challenge, or bringing your family for a fun day.
It's also an opportunity for community members, health enthusiasts, and visitors to get together, learn about Santa Fe's vibrant culture, and make a difference.
This year, we are proud to run for water in collaboration with the Kitany Water Project to help bring clean, sustainable water to underserved communities. Get more information about our water project. https://www.wefta.net/priority-projects/kitany-water-project/
