Huge shout out to @therealmicahling for her SECOND ARTICLE on The Antelope Canyon X Half Marathon! We made it again in @trailrunnermag 🙌🏽🙏❤️✊🏽 So many thank you to everyone at Trail Runner Magazine, Micah,@canyon_x_tours, @ Navajo Tribal Parks, Navajo Nation, LeChee Chapter, my friends, my family 🙏❤️ Great full for the believers in our program 🙏

my third Shiprock Marathon with a win couple weeks after a hard Boston Marathon, been some years now. Dedicated the race because we just lost my Father then. Kids were sad they didn’t see me race in Boston so they asked me to sign up for Shiprock day before and run it so they can watch me run.

As much as it seem like I did everything alone, I didn’t. I may have ran 150 miles without a pacer I did meet good hard working runners on the course. Meeting people from all over the globe all goals of finishing the epic run across the Native lands of the many communities. As a race director I see the tired less efforts making this event happen. I assuming over 100 permits through out the course. Props to @aravaiparunning @cocodona250 for making this a run I will forever remember. I reflected on my grandfathers runs he done on the Rez his many stories of traveling by foot in moccasins, my dream as a kid was to do long stuff like he did. I remembered him and my late father’s teachings as I cross through mtns and remember my ancestors trek to and from Bosque Redondo. Many of the elders and young died on this Long Walk. Navajos today are living proof we survived and thriving today, as yet we are last in education because of these horrific events of massacres and murders. I’m am 2nd generation of education since. The world has gotten a head start and we are just touching the surface of trying to be successful. Keep doing hard things it’s the only way to catch up! My race was just going through the motions honestly, I thought about going hard and racing it but I wanted to enjoy the time out there. Next time I will race it, harder, faster, stronger!

Jarome to finish: I planned no crew until Sedona, but friends from Albuquerque came in full force! @brooknas98 @shastapopz49 @rezjedi @deaanokb and @secateroendurance crew 🙏🏽 thank you! They taped my feet, feed me, packed me for the heat to Sedona. 5 miles from Sedona I got in deep sleep deprived with only 20 min of sleep in last 30hrs I was wondering side to side on the cliffs of Sedona, I followed a fellow runner back to town 🙏🏽. Left Sedona at 8am after sleep, food, & my first pacer former teammate in HS, Randolph Curley. Trek to the pine trees. Ran solo after Schnebly Hill to Munds Park, picking up my next pacer Patrick Ware. Ran in darkness to Fort Tuthill and slept a hour being my “last sleep” I made it to Flagstaff! My best friend showed from Chinle @shaun.martin31 @mavvv___ and picked up my next pacer @chris.hanwi we headed off to Walnut Canyon and to Wildcat aid to shutdown the sunlight of the day. Ate food and left solo for the last 19 miles ascending Mt.Elden, I had my vertigo and sleepiness come on descending Elden which took me a hour to come down step by step. Followers showed up to cheer me on during the last 24 miles it was AWESOME 🙏🏽👏🏾 it fired me up to grind out the last miles with momentum effortlessly to the finish! Thank you all who showed up to the finish line for me! Thank you to my family for crewing! My friends for showing up! Thank you to the new followers welcome to my page!

They taped my feet, feed me, packed me for the heat to Sedona. 5 miles from Sedona I got in deep sleep deprived with only 20 min of sleep in last 30hrs I was wondering side to side on the cliffs of Sedona, I followed a fellow runner back to town 🙏🏽. Left Sedona at 8am after sleep, food, & my first pacer former teammate in HS, Randolph Curley. Trek to the pine trees. Ran solo after Schnebly Hill to Munds Park, picking up my next pacer Patrick Ware. Ran in darkness to Fort Tuthill and slept a hour being my “last sleep” I made it to Flagstaff! My best friend showed from Chinle @shaun.martin31 @mavvv___ and picked up my next pacer @chris.hanwi we headed off to Walnut Canyon and to Wildcat aid to shutdown the sunlight of the day. Ate food and left solo for the last 19 miles ascending Mt.Elden, I had my vertigo and sleepiness come on descending Elden which took me a hour to come down step by step. Followers showed up to cheer me on during the last 24 miles it was AWESOME 🙏🏽👏🏾 it fired me up to grind out the last miles with momentum effortlessly to the finish! Thank you all who showed up to the finish line for me! Thank you to my family for crewing! My friends for showing up! Thank you to the new followers welcome to my page!

Couldn’t believe I was on the start line representing everything I am up to this day, many self questioning of am I really ready? I have to be now. Did I train enough? I did all I could with working a full time job and being a race director serving the most awesome people that come to my race hosting them in my backyard, no high mileage like most that are on the line, I did train on steep climbs, felt the sleep deprived of being a race director, the stress from all of the above to be at this point. LETS GO! I am here and I am Harold Bennally!
Start line with 400+ great endurance athletes we started, I got out quick enough due to single track congestion ahead and pace, I rolled with it up to mile 25 water drop & I shut it down I knew I felt awesome so I spent time refueling and hydrating climbing to CrownKing. @run.wander.ride came to my side to crew me 🙏🏽 she did awesome! She fueled me, packed my vest, taped my rowdy feet 🫣😂 got hug and I left to see the darkness. Climbed some more hills and highest peak on the mountains we were on. In between I got a blister that got me from the slow pace and uphills on my right foot and it became a babysitting the rest of the trip. I shuffled into Prescott the next morning for more aid and food and a hour sleep. Kept going to Watson Lake aid and to Fain Ranch aid ~97 miles. My legs were drained and sore I figured I didn’t eat enough on day 2 so I ate more and almost dropped of how horrible I felt and I still had another 160 miles to go.. fuh it I came to do something and I know I can do 125 miles let’s go Harold! So I left into the dark, hit 100 miles and climbed Mingus Mtn super nicely felt like no effort. I thought of sleeping at top but I wasn’t sleepy. I ate a lot again and got warm fluids in and packed my vest and departed to descend off the Mtn. I became super sleepy and I needed to lay down knowing I had 10 miles to Jarome AZ, 5am came and I laid down under a tree with grass curled up and slept for 15 mins. I woke an ascended a climb and seen San Francisco Peaks in horizon “ahhh that’s where I am going” few steps later I broke down in a cry of happiness that I made it this far on my two feet almost half way. ⬇️

I did all I could with working a full time job and being a race director serving the most awesome people that come to my race hosting them in my backyard, no high mileage like most that are on the line, I did train on steep climbs, felt the sleep deprived of being a race director, the stress from all of the above to be at this point. LETS GO! I am here and I am Harold Bennally!
Start line with 400+ great endurance athletes we started, I got out quick enough due to single track congestion ahead and pace, I rolled with it up to mile 25 water drop & I shut it down I knew I felt awesome so I spent time refueling and hydrating climbing to CrownKing. @run.wander.ride came to my side to crew me 🙏🏽 she did awesome! She fueled me, packed my vest, taped my rowdy feet 🫣😂 got hug and I left to see the darkness. Climbed some more hills and highest peak on the mountains we were on. In between I got a blister that got me from the slow pace and uphills on my right foot and it became a babysitting the rest of the trip. I shuffled into Prescott the next morning for more aid and food and a hour sleep. Kept going to Watson Lake aid and to Fain Ranch aid ~97 miles. My legs were drained and sore I figured I didn’t eat enough on day 2 so I ate more and almost dropped of how horrible I felt and I still had another 160 miles to go.. fuh it I came to do something and I know I can do 125 miles let’s go Harold! So I left into the dark, hit 100 miles and climbed Mingus Mtn super nicely felt like no effort. I thought of sleeping at top but I wasn’t sleepy. I ate a lot again and got warm fluids in and packed my vest and departed to descend off the Mtn. I became super sleepy and I needed to lay down knowing I had 10 miles to Jarome AZ, 5am came and I laid down under a tree with grass curled up and slept for 15 mins. I woke an ascended a climb and seen San Francisco Peaks in horizon “ahhh that’s where I am going” few steps later I broke down in a cry of happiness that I made it this far on my two feet almost half way. ⬇️

POST 1: Cocodona 250 mile bib pick up was pretty awesome meeting a person I learned a lot from through his podcasts @joecorcione @theeverydayultra.
Reunited with our Native runners and supporters from over the years.
When I began ultras I was the only Native on the start lines for a long while so I started Moccasin Running to try to get more of us out there doing trails. Collaboration with @native_women_run we built something that’s more than racing we just want to be out there with everyone else running on our Native Lands.
Thank you to @cocodona250 @kahtoola @rising_hearts @altrarunning for their generous sponsorship I am grateful for their support!

This is why I entered Cocodona 250.
Donation link is in my bio!
Leud get my youth runners to camp this summer.

Navajo runner @haroldbennally rolls into historic Jerome looking strong. Self-supported with no crew or pacers past the halfway mark and running on minimal sleep, he’s still all smiles and moving with patience and intention, saving something in the tank for what’s still ahead.

That’s patient running at its finest.

On April 12, the canyon witnessed something powerful. 🌄

Miles of perseverance. Footsteps echoing through sandstone walls shaped by time. Runners moving not just through the land, but with it.

The Moccasin Running & Antelope Canyon X Half Marathon was a reminder that strength and beauty can exist in the same breath.

We’re honored to have shared this space with every runner who showed up, pushed forward, and finished.

Congratulations to all who participated. We hope your journey through the canyon is something you’ll carry long after the finish line.

BIB 285
❤️ my bib in tracking and hit the “refresh” icon in the map so we don’t crash the site.
We don’t grow unless we do hard things.
After 125 miles I will be in new territory.
I feel like I’m headed out on a journey to get peace with everything that has happened in my lifetime. Losing family to illness, disease, mental health, accidents, but what I do won’t change the past I just keep living with grief and learn to live my life with this.
This run will be hard, good things have to balance what’s good is hard, what’s hard is good.
Let’s SkooRun Dan!
Again thank you to my sponsors, my good friends that donated, pre-orders of the necklaces, to anyone that will show up at aid stations to help me out, share my post, comment, like, repost, I’ll be reading messages and comments when I’m out there all alone middle the day, middle of the night in darkness, when I’m suffering for my life.
