This event will be run on a USATF Certified Course and serves as a Boston/National Qualifier.

Known for its downhill and fast course (marathoners will drop over 530 feet in elevation from the start to finish), the marathon route starts in the community of Sun City Festival before making its way around the beautiful White Tank Mountains and ending at the runway of the Buckeye Municipal Airport.
Half Marathon, 10K, 5K and 1M runners will start and finish at the airport, with views of the White Tank Mountains on the outgoing section of the out-and-back courses.
