Trail Roots Partners with M2M

Aug 07, 2026

We are very excited to announce that Trail Roots is officially partnering with Marathon 2 Marathon!

Marathon 2 Marathon (M2M) has a long-standing history as a bucket-list road race in West Texas. The point-to-point course starts 26.2 miles outside Marathon, TX and is a famously fast, Boston-qualifying downhill route. It stands out in part due to its high-desert climate. The elevation and cooler dry air consistently provide ideal, crisp running conditions. Runners will find this vast stretch of highway unlike any city race: the small-town hospitality and a unique race environment simply cannot be found in the big cities. Race distances include a Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K.

Trail Roots already manages a number of races throughout West Texas, including the Big Bend Ultra and the Sky Island Trail Race in Fort Davis. We are deeply committed to the area, and partnering with M2M strengthens our presence in West Texas. We are excited to work hand-in-hand with the race founder and race director Marci Roberts. We hope to strengthen and grow the race together with her.

With this new collaboration, head coach Erik Stanley said, “It is an honor to partner with one of Texas's longest-standing destination races. We have always loved bringing our runners out to West Texas, and we want to preserve the M2M legacy.”
