About
Queen Creek Desert Wash takes place on January 15, 2028, in Queen Creek, Arizona. The half marathon (13.1 mi) starts at 7:00 a.m., the 10K (6.2 mi) at 7:30 a.m. and the 5K (3.1 mi) at 8:00 a.m. No elevation gain is listed.
January is peak racing season in the Sonoran desert, and for good reason: cold mornings, dry air and no humidity to speak of make it the fastest time of year to run a half marathon in Arizona. The catch is the start — it can be near freezing at 7:00 a.m. and twenty degrees warmer by the finish, so dress for the middle of the race and shed the rest.
