NEW White Mountain Half Marathon

by Mescalero Apache Tribe | September 25, 2020 3:27 pm

Hello Mescalero,

We are excited to announce that the inaugural “White Mountain Half Marathon” will take place on Saturday, October 17, 2020. This will be an out and back race starting at the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Casino (IMG). We are excited to host this event on the beautiful Mescalero Apache Reservation and look forward to years of success with this race. If any of you are interested in running the Half Marathon, please visit www.runwhitemountain.com[3] for registration details.

We do have protocols and guidelines in place, as recommended by the CDC, to protect participants and visitors on race day. If you plan to attend, please follow these guidelines; wear a mask and practice social distancing.

If you would like to encourage and cheer for the racers along the route, we encourage you to do so. Just remember to please keep a minimum of ten (10’) feet from the edge of the roadway.

Please be advised that there will be changes to traffic flow and White Mountain Drive (Route 6) and Carrizo Canyon Road (Route 4) will be reduced down to one lane of travel, in one direction. Speed limits will also be reduced as a precaution for the event participants. This will be a temporary closure and roads will be fully open no later than 12:00 noon.  Please pay attention to signage and those assisting with the event. Law enforcement will be present along the race route.  

If you would like to assist and volunteer to help during the Half Marathon, please reach out to race planner Duane Duffy on his mobile at (575) 430-9323 or via email at [email protected][4]. Happy Running!
