FOUR CORNERS QUAD KEYAH MARATHON SERIES

“Four marathons/half marathons in four states in four weeks!”

Race Window: November 30-December 27, 2020

Welcome to the Four Corners Quad Keyah!  The Four Corners Quad Keyah will not be held at Four Corners Monument in 2020.  It will be virtual this year and we hope to be back at the Monument next year.

Four Corners Quad Keyah runners will complete four marathons or four half marathons over four weeks, representing the states of the Four Corners: Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico. 

[NOTE: The Navajo Nation has been impacted significantly by COVID-19, and tribal officials and race organizers believe it best to not stage the race at the Monument this year.]

SCHEDULE OF RACES – 

You may complete each race at a location of your choosing and on your choice of surface: pavement, dirt road or trail. 

You will have a one-week window in which to complete each state.  Those of you competing for awards must do each state’s race on one day of that week; non-competitive runners may complete their miles throughout the seven-day window.  The window for each state runs from Monday through Sunday of that week:

Arizona will run from November 30 through December 6

Utah will go from December 7 through December 13

Colorado takes place from December 14 through December 20 

New Mexico will be staged from December 21 through December 27

You will submit your information and race time to our timer (Rocky Mountain Timing) at the completion of each state.  You can reach Josh at info@rmtioming.co 

REGISTRATION  – Online registration for the series will run through the end of the Arizona race window, December 6.  You must be registered and complete Arizona by the end of December 6 in order to complete the four-state series.  

Your registration of $30 includes long-sleeve performance t-shirt, four race bibs and NPRS towel or NPRS neck gaiter, plus shipping of all of the above.. All proceeds benefit youth adventure and community wellness programs on the Navajo Nation.  [If you are currently registered for the Quad Keyah, you may roll over your registration to 2021 or you may donate your fee to the Navajo Nation-based nonprofit NavajoYES.  You also have free entry into this year’s virtual race.]

AWARDS – There will be overall male and female awards to series winner and runner-up in the marathon and half. There are no age-group awards in the series, nor any awards in the individual state races..
