About the race
The Whiskey Basin Trail Runs take place on April 17, 2027 at Watson Lake Park in Prescott, Arizona. Races use sections of the Prescott Circle Trail and the full 92 kilometer loop around the city. All distances finish at Watson Lake with views of the Granite Dells.
Available distances include:
- 92K full Prescott Circle Trail loop, point to point
- 60K point to point along Prescott Circle Trail
- 33K point to point along Prescott Circle Trail
- Half-Marathon on trails around Watson Lake and the Granite Dells
- 10K on single track and lake trails
The courses mix flat gravel paths, rocky scrambles, and winding single track. Course markings include orange ribbons, laminated signs, and flagging at wrong way trails. Road crossings and gates occur on the Prescott Circle Trail; runners must close gates and take care at crossings.
Aid stations are placed several miles apart depending on distance and provide water, ice, electrolyte drink, snacks, and fruit. Gels are not stocked at aid stations and the event is cupless so participants should bring a reusable cup. Medical personnel are stationed at the start and finish with the ability to respond to aid stations. Drop bags, crew and pacer policies vary by distance; pacers are allowed only for the longest event and drop bag locations are specified for that race.
