The Four Corners Fitness & Wellness Association invites you to the 25th annual Shiprock Marathon & Relays on Saturday, May 3rd, 2008. Events include: Marathon (USATF certified course #NM04003DS), 5-person coed Marathon Relay, Half Marathon and non-competitive 10K Trail Walk. Since its humble beginning in the early ‘80s these races have attracted runners from all over the world to participate in the only Marathon event on the Navajo Nation. Every year many Navajos return to run in this high desert classic.
