Be Aware. Plan Ahead.

Drivers are encouraged to adjust travel time within and around the race course.

• New in 2013 are the Bike Tour and Mini Marathon, they will use roads already closed for the marathon and 1/2 marathon. The Bike Tour will start prior to the Marathon at 7:15 am in downtown Phoenix and follow approximately 20 miles of the Marathon course.  The Mini Marathon will start at 7:50 am with the Half Marathon on Mill Avenue, follow the same course for 2 miles and turn into the finish on the Tempe Lake Path.  All events will finish near Sun Devil Stadium on the ASU campus.
• The P.F. Chang’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona Marathon & 1/2 Marathon will bring more than 25,000 runners and walkers to Phoenix, Tempe and Scottsdale, in addition to tens of thousands of spectators, family and friends.
• To get the most out of your weekend and minimize stress, be aware of the road closures in your area and plan ahead for an alternate route or added travel time.
• Join the festivities! Phoenix, Tempe and Scottsdale residents are encouraged to visit the free Health & Fitness Expo on at the Phoenix Convention Center, volunteer during race weekend and/or line the course to cheer runners.

Valley Metro Transit Detours

METRO light rail will operate on race weekend and with an enhanced schedule on race morning. There will be slight service delays once the races start. Several METRO bus routes will be on detour during the race. For more information visit valleymetro.org or call (602) 253-5000.

Road Closures

Most road closures and detours will be in effect between the hours of 6:00 am and 3:30 pm. At 6:00 am, Police and event personnel may implement a soft closure along the entire race course. The Bike Tour will begin at 7:15 am and all other races at 7:50 am, and streets will reopen on a rolling basis as soon as the last participant has passed and all course support materials have been removed. Streets along the earlier miles of the route will open earlier than roads along the end of the route. Please review the road closure grid and course map for more information. Residents and businesses located near the race course are urged to plan ahead and to be aware of road closure schedules and alternate access routes.

No Parking

Streets along the race course will be marked with No Parking signs.  Vehicles in violation of these posted signs will be ticketed and towed at the owners’ expense.
