The Lost Dutchman Marathon named best marathon by Phoenix Magazine

Set in the Superstition Wilderness, this race’s views don’t get more striking, especially in the early morning. The marathon isn’t crowded (shorter wait for the bathroom, no pushing and shoving at the start line), and the volunteers who give you snacks and medals couldn’t be nicer. The event takes place every President’s Day weekend. lostdutchmanmarathon.org.
