For runners in the half marathon, the Sprouts Mesa Half Marathon course will begin on East McDowell Road near Falcon Field airport, and from there head west and south along an overall downhill descent to the finish line at the Riverview Shopping Center on Bass Pro Drive. In between the start and the finish, runners will make their way through several residential neighborhoods with bands playing live music along the course, which is a USATF certified route.
