The 12 annual event includes a full marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K and 1-Mile Run.
Known for its downhill and fast course -- marathoners will drop more than 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 and 5K runners will start and finish at the airport, with views of the White Tank Mountains on the outgoing section of the out-and-back course," promotional material states.
