Whiskey Basin Trail Runs

The Whiskey Basin Trail Runs are a set of trail races held at Watson Lake Park in Prescott, Arizona, using sections of the Prescott Circle Trail that encircle the city. Distances offered include:

  • 92K
  • 60K
  • 33K
  • Half-Marathon
  • 10K

The 92K is a point to point route that follows the full Prescott Circle Trail and returns to Watson Lake. The 60K and 33K are also point to point along sections of the circle trail. All distances finish at Watson Lake with the Granite Dells rock formations visible from the finish area.

Courses combine flat gravel paths, rocky scrambles, and winding single track through the Granite Dells and around local lakes. Aid stations are placed regularly on each course, with intervals varying roughly from 0.6 to 11 miles depending on the distance. The event is cupless so participants should bring a reusable cup; gels are not supplied at aid stations and runners are asked to carry at least one bottle of water. Drop bags are permitted for the 92K at specified aid stations and a drop bag area is provided at the start and finish for shorter races.

Course signage uses orange plastic ribbons and laminated colored signs with additional flagging to mark wrong ways. Medical personnel managed by MedStar Solutions are stationed at the start and finish and can be dispatched to aid stations. Parking at Watson Lake Park is available and the park entry fee is handled as part of event arrangements. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
