The marathon starts heading south on North Usery Pass Road, below the large Phoenix sign painted on Usery Mountain, and drops nearly 1,000 feet in net elevation to a finish at Riverview Park. You pass cactus desert and views over the Phoenix Valley before turning into Mesa for the final miles. The course is USATF certified and a Boston qualifier. Entry is limited, and finisher medals go to anyone who completes the distance in under 6.5 hours.
