Race Route
The Gilbert Half Marathon and 10k run through the heart of Gilbert, Arizona. The course is flat and fast, making it a great first time experience or a PR possibility.
For half marathoners, the course begins at Higley High School. Then runners race along the corn fields along Gilbert’s most popular canals and through premiere parks– including the Riparian Preserve and Freestone Park.
The 10k race is the second half of the half marathon. The 10k starts at Nichols Park and joins the half marathon on the canal trails right before the Riparian Preserve.
Pacers
East Valley Runners will provide pacers for the half marathon for the following times:
1:30, 1:40, 1:50, 2:00, 2:10, 2:20 & 2:30
