Race Info
The Whiskey Row Marathon is an annual marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K held each October in Prescott, Arizona, starting and finishing in the historic Whiskey Row district downtown. The marathon course climbs from about 5,280 feet to roughly 7,000 feet by around mile 7, then descends to about 5,600 feet by the mile-13 turnaround, making it one of the more physically demanding road marathons in the country. The race is organized by the James Family Prescott YMCA, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and proceeds fund scholarships that help local families access child care, swimming lessons, youth sports, and gymnastics programs. The 2026 race will be its 48th running. Source
