Whiskey Basin Trail Run
A one of a kind single loop trail run tour of the Prescott Circle Trail. The Circle Trail encircles all of Prescott, Arizona on epic single track and dirt road trails starting and finishing at Watson Lake Park featuring high desert grasslands to Ponderosa Pine forests.
Event Info
Starting on Prescott’s historical (and lively) Whiskey Row and climbing into the beautifully distracting views of Prescott National Forest, riders will connect some of the area’s most exhilarating (and challenging) pieces of singletrack, double track, gravel roads and the occasional paved segment.
Whiskey Row Marathon
This out-and-back course is considered one of the most challenging in the United States. Starting at 5,280 feet, the elevation increases to 7,000 feet over the first seven miles, then down to 5,600 feet at the 13-mile turn around. The course is paved road for the first and last five miles, while the rest of the running route is a trail race on a dirt road maintained by the US Forest Service.
Event Info
It's a damn good time. The Whiskey Series.

Prescott local Michael Versteeg became the first ever Whiskey Man by finishing (& winning) the inaugural 2016 Whiskey Basin 88K (now 91K) trail run followed by biking the Whiskey Off-Road 50 mile mountain bike race and capping it off with a third place finish at the Whiskey Row Marathon.
