Whiskey Basin Trail Runs : Saturday, April 18, 2026
The Whiskey Basin Trail Runs are held at Watson Lake Park in Prescott, Arizona, using the Prescott Circle Trail network. Multiple race distances finish at Watson Lake with the Granite Dells as the finish-line backdrop. Distances offered:
- 92K
- 60K
- 33K
- Half-Marathon
- 10K
The 92K follows the full Prescott Circle Trail as a point-to-point loop around the city. Other distances run point-to-point along sections of the Prescott Circle Trail and nearby trails. Course surfaces include gravel paths, single track, desert trails, pines and juniper sections, technical granite rock, and steep scrambles. The half and 10K routes use Peavine Trail and the newer Storm Trails through the Granite Dells.
Course services and logistics
Aid stations are placed regularly (ranges vary by distance) and supply water, ice, an electrolyte drink (Gnarly Fuel 2O), sweet and salty snacks, and fruit; gels are not stocked. This is a cupless event; runners should have a reusable cup or purchase one on site. Drop bags are allowed for the 92K at specified aid stations; shorter distances have a drop-bag area at start/finish. Crews are allowed at designated locations; crew and pacer rules vary by distance. Pacers are permitted only for the 92K with restrictions (one pacer, on foot, no pets or bicycles). The course is marked with orange ribbons, colored signs, and flagging; runners are responsible for following the marked route. Parking and on-site camping options are available at Watson Lake Park.
