Organiser's Description
YAATEEH,
WELCOME TO MISS NAVAJO NATIONS 1ST ANNUAL
FLUTED ROCK HALF AND FULL MARATHON
MARATHON: 6:30AM | HALF MARATHON: 7AM
Miss Navajo Nation 2025-26, Camille J Uentillie, Office of Miss Navajo Nation, Rocky Mountain Timing and Navajo YES are bringing you to the local hometown of Kinlichee. Kinlichee is the hometown community of Miss Navajo 2025-26, Camille J Uentillie. As part of promoting physical fitness, running is a strong teaching instilled on the Dine teachings and stories. Miss Navajo Nations Fluted Rocks Half and Full Marathon welcomes all participants to highlight H'OZH'O NAASHA' DOOLEEL, FOCUSING ON ONES INDIVIDUAL PATH.
In certain areas of Kinlichees landscape, theres the Navajo Sandstone that surrounds small canyons. Among those walls and on top of ridges of the canyon, there are anasazi homes built by our anasazi beings long before our arrival. Today, some of Anasazi homes still remain and are unbothered. My grandparents are Peggy Cornfield and the late Tom Cornfield. In honor of the stories she continues to share with me, one of them is how Kinlichee got its name.
