The Lost Dutchman Marathon is an annual running event in Apache Junction, Arizona, staged at the base of the Superstition Mountains and set against a scenic desert landscape. The event includes a USATF‑certified marathon course that serves as a Boston Marathon qualifier and offers multiple distances—full marathon, half marathon, 10K, 8K trail run, and a 2‑mile fun run—to accommodate a range of runners. Known for fast, well‑supported courses and community traditions like a pre‑race campfire, the race draws competitive and recreational athletes seeking good winter running conditions.
