The two most popular half marathons in New Mexico are Duke City Half Marathon with 489 finishers, followed by the Shiprock Half Marathon with 468 finishers in 2023.

The New Mexico half marathons we most frequently recommend for beginners are:
The Shiprock Half Marathon: An out-and-back uphill-then-downhill course with views of Shiprock Pinnacle and live music to support along the entire experience.
State 47 Las Cruces Half Marathon: A fast, flat scenic course through the pecan orchards of Las Cruces. A race that makes an effort to create a memorable experience for those running all 50 states.
