Event Details

Race time at downtown Prescott's Montezuma and Gurley starting line for the Whiskey Row Marathon & Half Marathon is 7:00 AM for half-marathoners, and full marathon participants can race as early as 5:00 AM if they like. The event organizers say this is one of the toughest marathons anywhere in the United States, with a course that begins at 5,280 feet above sea level and climbs to over 7,000 feet during the race. The half marathon is just as challenging, running southward from downtown Prescott along Copper Basin Road past Hassayampa Country Club and Rancho Vista Estates.

With paved roads for most of the first half of the race, the terrain then becomes rugged, run along forest trail roads. Weather conditions can be severe, and emergency vehicles are staffed an on the course throughout the race for any participants who get dizzy or experience pain or exhaustion.


Race Weather & Climate

The first weeks of spring bring mild to moderately warm weather to this central Arizona town, located just north of the Phoenix metropolitan area. May temperatures average between 45°F and 73°F, with little rainfall to speak of -- precipitation averages barely over half an inch during the month.


Fees

$55 for the half marathon, if registered by April 10, 2010
$65 after April 10
