Phoenix Marathon Where & When
- Location: Bass Pro Dr., Mesa, AZ 85201
- Race Date: 2018/02/24 06:30:00 AM (Saturday)
This was a very well run half marathon. The fireworks at the starting line were a fun surprize. This was my first time running a half marathon in Phoenix, so I expected it to be hot and dry. To my surprise we had a fair bit of rain at the start, and the air smelled so clean. The race has one of the best finishes anywhere, and the volunteers were amazing. This was a fun experience that is well worth doing again.

This was my first 1/2 marathon. The organization was great and well planned. I committed to run this for at least the next five years my experience was so good.

Decided to jump all-in on my first Ever race and do a marathon. This course lived up to my expectations and the organization was great. Signed up for 2017!

This is a great course for marathon runners and for qualifying for Boston. I will run this course until I qualify! The course is well supported with water and gels and very easy course to know where to go.

This was not only my first time running the Phoenix half, which I am already signed up for 2017 to do the whole series;) but this was my first trip to AZ. It was very well organized and I'm glad we stayed at the Sheraton which was the site for the expo. My only wish is the the half medal was advertised, too. I thought it was the same as the full. But I understand the need to differentiate;) either way it was incredible and my girlfriend and I can't wait to come back to run it again!!!!

Overall, a great race. Incredible support from local organizations, and tons of folks come out. The marathon course gets a little quiet sometimes, but the aid stations every other mile make up for it! My only complaint is about the full marathon pace team this year who were way too early and way too fast out of the gate. Hopefully better expectations will be set for the pace team in the future, but otherwise, I'll be back for sure to work on my copper star!

This was my first half marathon and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. I love love love that this race is on Saturday! I’m still sore but already signed up for next year! Such a great experience. Thank you to all involved, the organization was amazing.

I really enjoyed the race. The course was well laid out. The weather was great on race day. The only fix for next year is the number of porta potties at the start. Many of us were barely getting to the start as the race started and there were still people waiting for that last stop at the porta potties.
