The 2027 Mesa Marathon is a fast net-downhill point-to-point race in the Arizona desert, with a net drop of about 866 ft and a total elevation loss of roughly 1,000 ft. It starts below the Usery Mountain Phoenix sign and finishes at Riverview Park in downtown Mesa. The course is a Boston qualifier with no penalty, and 16.3% of 2026 finishers ran a BQ time.

Why attend here

February in Mesa means crisp, sunny days perfect for running the gentle Sonoran desert rollers before the long downhill finish. After the race, wander the historic downtown's murals and grab a stack of buttermilk pancakes at a local diner, or drive the short hop to the Salt River for a quiet afternoon among the saguaros.
