The Palm Desert Half Marathon is the oldest half marathon in the Coachella Valley. Starting and ending at Palm Desert Civic Center Park, runners are rewarded with scenic mountain vistas and a flat, fast course. Half marathon runners can participate as individuals or as part of a relay team. For those runners who don’t quite have 13.1 miles in them, there is also a 5K held on the same day on a closed course. All runners get a spiffy race tee and a finisher’s medal.
