On September 30, 2007, the Gallup community lost a dear friend. Less than one mile from
the finish line of the Squash Blossom 1/2 Marathon, Kent Hodges collapsed from a massive
heart attack. In honor of Kent, the race has been renamed.
The 1/2 Marathon is a difficult course and should not be attempted by novice runners. The
events are held on the High Desert Trail System, a challenging trail with some rugged
technical sections and short steep sections. The trail weaves through pristine mesas full of
junipers and pinions with breathtaking views! Come out and join us for the Kent Hodges
Memorial 1/2 Marathon. Walkers are welcome and start at 7am.
