The Sandia Crest Marathon follows a fast-paced course that takes runners along the winding paths down the Sandia Mountains and deep into the canyons of the Cibola National Forest. Runners will follow more than 25 miles of downhill paved roads before the finish in Albuquerque.
The race starts at 10,000' and drops approximately 4500' down to 5500' at the finish with a couple of large uphills between.
