2027 State 47 Las Cruces Marathon
The 2027 State 47 Las Cruces Marathon is a flat, fast out-and-back through pecan orchards under the Organ Mountains, with only +53 m of elevation gain, and is a USATF-certified Boston qualifier. The course starts and finishes on the track inside Field of Dreams Stadium and runs mostly on paved path and road, with a short hard-packed gravel section.
In early January, Las Cruces offers crisp, sunny days perfect for a long run through the Mesilla Valley’s pecan orchards, with the Organ Mountains as a dramatic backdrop. Afterward, warm up with a bowl of green chile stew and a stroll through the historic Old Mesilla plaza, just minutes away.
Event Details
53 m
The course runs through the Mesilla Valley pecan orchards with the dramatic, jagged Organ Mountains rising to the east and the Rio Grande corridor close by. Most of it is on paved path and road, with a short hard-packed gravel section. It is a scenic high-desert tour rather than a city race, so expect open, quiet stretches with mountain views rather than wall-to-wall crowds.
