What to expect
What makes this race distinct — for training and race day.
The Phoenix Marathon returns in 2026, building on a powerful debut and continuing its rise as Arizona’s premier distance race.
Catering & aid stations
Aid stations are situated roughly every 2 miles along the course. There are 12 aid stations along the marathon course, 7 aid stations along the half marathon course and 5 aid stations along the 10 Miler course. The 5K will have one aid station. All aid stations will be supplied with Gatorade Endurance, water, portable restrooms, and first aid.
Pacers
Pacers will be running both the full marathon and half marathon to lead everyone to a fast time. Pacers will be implementing Smart Pacing strategy, which is an effort-based strategy that varies the pace of each mile according to course elevation changes. Pace guide wristbands will be available at the expo.

Do I need to ride the bus to the start line or can I be dropped off?
Runners have the option to either ride the bus to the start line, from the finish line area, or be dropped off at the start lines. While no parking is permitted or available at the start lines, drop off can be facilitated at each location.
Is the Phoenix Marathon a Boston qualifier?
Yes, all courses are USATF-certified. The following are the certification numbers for each race: Marathon - AZ25029JOE, Half Marathon - AZ25030JOE and the 10K AZ25031JOE
Are there course time limits?
Roads used for the race must be re-opened for normal traffic, requiring set course time limits. The time limit for both the half marathon and marathon is 6.5 hours. The time limit for the 10K is 3 hours.
What is the course surface composition?
The course is composed paved asphalt roads, paved trails, and sections of hard packed gravel along portions of the canal trail.
How do I join a team after I have already registered?
Go to the Join My Team page, and fill out the form. You will need the confirmation number emailed to you when you registered in order to complete the form.
What is your transfer/deferral policy?
Our generous policies allow you to transfer your bib to another person or defer your entry to next year. Runners can exercise these options at any time within the given timeframes for any reason whatsoever.
If I can't make it to the expo, is there another way to pick up my packet?
For those who cannot make it to the expo, you can request to have your packet mailed to you prior to the event. Your packet will arrive 7-10 days before the event occurs.
Are earbuds allowed on the course?
Runners will be allowed to use earbuds on the course. However, for your safety we highly recommend that you keep the volume of your music low enough to still be aware of your surroundings, as police officers, volunteers, or emergency vehicles may need to get your attention at some point along the course.
Are strollers allowed on the course?
Because of both logistical and liability issues, we are not currently allowing strollers on the buses or in the event for the marathon, half marathon, or 10K.
