The event is cupless, so runners carry a bottle or hydration bag for refills at aid stations, which stock gels, chews, Gatorade, snacks and fruit.

About the Monument Valley Veterans Half Marathon
NavajoYES and Navajo Parks & Recreation put on the Monument Valley Veterans Marathon and Half Marathon, with proceeds going to community health and wellness programs on the Navajo Nation. Veterans can enter free, and a recognition ceremony with tribal leaders and a drum group honors them after the races.
The half is capped at 500 runners and starts an hour after the marathon. Charity bibs give free entry with a fundraising commitment, and The View Hotel inside the park and Goulding's Lodge are the host hotels.
