The Phoenix Marathon is a road race held in Phoenix, Arizona on December 12, 2026. It offers multiple distance options and a course that travels through the heart of the city, with sweeping desert views and a finish near Papago Park.
Distances include:
- 10K
- Half marathon
- Marathon (26.2 miles)
The event provides participant shirts and finisher medals, course support, an organized finish-area experience, and an event expo. Organizers also publish results and photos after the race and offer services such as pacers, volunteer support, merchandise, and options for transfer, withdrawal, or deferment.
Training resources listed for the event include coaching and a training center. The event is linked to a Desert Double program presented by Human Powered Health: completing any distance at the 2026 Phoenix Marathon and any distance at the 2027 Mesa Marathon earns a Desert Double medal; a bundle discount applies for entry in both events.
