Holloman Ace of Races Marathon | Half Marathon | 5K | Kids Dash

Prepare for an extraordinary running experience at the Holloman Ace of Races Marathon, Half Marathon, 5K, and Kids Dash on Saturday, October 10, 2026, in Alamogordo, New Mexico. This unique event invites the public onto Holloman Air Force Base, offering a distinctly flat and paved course with minimal elevation gain, ranging from 52 to 65 feet. Runners will be treated to breathtaking scenery, nestled between the majestic Sacramento Mountains and the glistening gypsum dunes of White Sands National Park.

What truly sets this race apart is its journey through Air Force history. Participants will pass by significant points of Air Force heritage, with the final mile culminating in a run through static aircraft and equipment displays, all while being cheered on with a military cadence "left, right, left" at the finish. With distances including a 26.2M marathon, 13.1M half marathon, 5K (3M), and a 1M Kids Dash, there's a challenge for every ambition. Typical race day conditions in October present comfortable highs around 80F and lows of 46F, with only a 3% chance of precipitation, creating a favorable climate for fast times. All proceeds from the Holloman Ace of Races benefit the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation fund, directly supporting Holloman AFB Airmen and their families.
