Durango Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential, big temp swing
A cool 44°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Temps will climb significantly to 69°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

Race Info
The Durango Marathon debuts October 11, 2026, in Durango, Colorado, alongside a half marathon and 5K. The out-and-back course starts and finishes at Santa Rita Park on the Animas River, climbs through eastern Durango past Fort Lewis College, then returns along the Animas River Trail at an elevation between roughly 6,500 and 6,900 feet. The race is timed for peak fall foliage and passes near Durango's historic downtown with views of the San Juan Mountains. It is organized by Black Bear Events and Timing, a Durango race and timing company founded in 2020.
