EXTRA EXTRA!

The P.F. Chang’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon and 1/2 Marathon is back to help welcome in the new year.

Get up bright and early on Sunday, January 15 to help cheer on the runners as they attempt to take on either a full marathon (26.2 miles) or a half marathon (13.1 miles).  The full marathon will start at CityScape in downtown Phoenix and the half marathon will start at Mill Avenue and Third street.  Rise and shine, the races both start at 7:30 a.m.!

Entertainment will be in no short supply, with live bands and cheerleaders at every mile of the course, charity teams, a finish line festival and a great concert headlined by The B-52s. 

The finish lines will be located at Packard Drive, between ASU’s Sun Devil and Sun Angel Stadiums.  Here are the major road closures so you can avoid some traffic.
