For the inaugural year, the Phoenix Marathon will be offering the Half Marathon, 10K and Kids 1K Fun run races in March. The marathon portion of the Phoenix Marathon will be made available in 2013.
The Phoenix Marathon is partnered with the non-profit organization called Arizona Brainfood. This charity is entirely managed and operated by volunteers. They donate food to the surprising number of children in school who go hungry without help.
The course begins on N. Usery Pass Rd. on a nice downhill route that winds through Mesa with a 700 ft. net elevation loss.
