About the Mesa Half Marathon
The half-marathon distance at Mesa offers much of the full marathon weekend’s fast-course appeal in a more accessible package. Pacers, frequent aid, and a generous field make it a practical first half or personal-record attempt.
Course
The point-to-point route starts near McDowell and Norwalk and descends gently toward Riverview Park, losing nearly 200 feet overall. Desert vistas and citrus-lined stretches add scenery without changing its road-racing character.
Race-day weather
February mornings are often cool and dry, with average race-period temperatures around the mid-40s to low-60s Fahrenheit. Desert sun can become noticeable late, so hydration still matters.
