About the Durango Marathon
The course starts and finishes at a park along the Animas River, with the San Juan Mountains as a backdrop. Fall color across the surrounding hillsides does real work on a long road effort, and the air tends to be cool enough to run well. The route is designed to move through town rather than loop a parking lot.
