Make a running weekend a desert getaway.

The official Palm Desert Half Marathon & 5K website lists February 14, 2027, with a half marathon, a 10K, a 5K and a 1K kids run. If you are searching for a Palm Desert marathon, check the distance carefully: this program does not advertise a full 26.2-mile marathon.

Confirm your registration and the latest packet pickup, starting location and start time with the organizer. Different distances may have different schedules. Plan lodging around the requirements of everyone in your group, including any children participating.

The estate’s South Palm Desert hillside setting means driving to the event. Allow time for parking, road closures and the walk to the start. Prepare breakfast and the departure plan the evening before; do not rely on an estimated normal-traffic drive as a race-morning guarantee.

Review the sleeping arrangement and accessibility information before reserving. The property’s separate casitas and outdoor spaces may suit a mixed group, but guests who need step-free access should confirm the details directly rather than assuming it from photographs.

February 14 also falls on Valentine’s Day, so consider dining plans alongside the race. After the event, leave room for a quiet meal and time on the terraces. Optional pool heating should be arranged in advance if it matters to your stay; the pool is for leisure and no therapeutic benefit is promised.
