Whiskey Basin Trail Runs

Whiskey Basin Trail Runs is an Aravaipa Running event in Prescott, Arizona, on April 17, 2027. Five trail distances start on a staggered schedule: the 91K (56.5 miles) at 5:00 a.m., the 60K (37.3 miles) at 7:00 a.m., the 33K (20.5 miles) at 8:00 a.m., the half marathon (13.1 miles) at 9:00 a.m., and the 10K (6.2 miles) at 9:30 a.m.

The odd distances are part of the appeal: the 33K is a bit longer than a half marathon, the 60K sits between a 50K and a 50-miler, and the 91K is close to 100K, so you can pick a step that matches exactly where your fitness is. The 10K and half marathon are approachable with eight to ten weeks of training, while the 60K and 91K call for 16- to 20-week builds with back-to-back long runs and consistent hill work. Prescott sits at altitude with rocky, rolling trails, so protective shoes and some practice hiking climbs will help. Mid-April can be warm by midday, so carry fluids between aid stations.
