Marathon mile 0.0–2.4
Start & South Central Ave
South Mountain Park to Baseline Rd · TCP 1, 2, 3.1, 3.2, 4.1, 4.2, 5.1, 5.2, 6.1, 6.2, 7.1, 7.2
The marathon starts at the South Mountain Park entrance and runs north on Central Ave. Every cross street from Mineral Rd to Baseline Rd is barricaded ROAD CLOSED, most signed LOCAL TRAFFIC ONLY, and marked driveways on Central are closed. Police officers help residents near Olympic Ave (TCP 6.1).
Marathon mile 2.4–4.3
Central Ave: Baseline to Broadway
Half Marathon start · Southern Ave · Roeser Rd · TCP 8.1, 8.2, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.1, 14.2
The Half Marathon starts on Alta Vista Rd just east of Central (TCP 9) and turns north onto Central at marathon mile ≈2.9. East-side driveways along Central are closed for the whole stretch. Police officers direct local-resident traffic at Jesse Owens Pkwy, St Catherine Ave, Alta Vista Rd and Southern Ave (TCP 8.1–10). Southern Ave and Broadway Rd stay open in part with lane closures; check each sheet for which lanes.
Marathon mile 4.3–5.0
Central Ave to Rio Salado
Riverside St · Victory St · Rio Salado Scenic Dr · TCP 15, 16, 17, 25.1
The last stretch of South Central before the river. Side streets from Riverside St to Victory St are barricaded with LOCAL TRAFFIC ONLY, and police officers help residents (TCP 15). At Rio Salado Scenic Dr the marathon leaves Central for the river path. The half continues north on Central.
Marathon mile 5.0–9.9
Rio Salado path east
Marathon only · no TCP sheet
Marathon mile 9.9–11.5
40th St turnaround & University Dr
Watkins St · University Dr · I-10 at 32nd St · TCP 18.1, 18.2, 19.1, 19.2, 19.3, 19.4, 20
Marathon only. Runners come off the river at 40th St, turn at Watkins St and head back southwest on University Dr, which runs with shifting tapers and lane closures (KEEP LEFT / KEEP RIGHT) rather than a full closure. TCP 20 closes lanes on University at the I-10 / 32nd St interchange.
Marathon mile 11.5–13.9
Riverpoint, Elwood & 24th St
32nd St · Riverpoint Pkwy · Elwood St · TCP 21.1, 21.2, 22.1, 22.2, 22.3, 23.1, 23.2
Marathon only. The course runs 32nd St and Wood St to Riverpoint Pkwy, then west on Elwood St to 24th St and north to Riverview Dr. Driveways along the highlighted route are closed. 24th St uses a merging taper and lane closure (TCP 23.1).
Marathon mile 13.9–16.3
Riverview Dr westbound
24th St to 16th St · TCP 24.1, 24.2, 24.3, 24.4
Marathon only. Riverview Dr westbound from 24th St to 16th St, coned with KEEP LEFT / KEEP RIGHT channelization and lane closures. The marathon then returns to Central along the river and rejoins the half near Watkins St.
Marathon mile 16.3–17.6
Central Ave north: I-10 to Grant St
10 Miler start · I-10 underpass · Buckeye Rd · TCP 25.2, 25.3, 25.4, 25.5, 26.1, 26.2
All three road races share the course from here. The 10 Miler starts on Central just north of Rio Salado. Runners pass under I-10 (TCP 25.2–25.3, with lane closures on the 7th Ave / Maricopa Fwy side) and run north on Central to Grant St. Every side street from Apache St to Lincoln St is closed with LOCAL TRAFFIC ONLY.
Marathon mile 17.6–21.6
7th Ave & the west loop
Grant St · Jefferson St · Washington St · 19th Ave · TCP 27.1, 27.2, 27.3, 28.1, 28.2, 29.1, 29.2, 29.3, 29.4, 30, 31
The downtown west loop: 7th Ave north, then west on Jefferson St and back east on Washington / Adams St toward 3rd Ave. 7th Ave keeps traffic in lanes with KEEP LEFT and lane closures, while the side streets inside the loop are closed with LOCAL TRAFFIC ONLY. The match lines here are dense, so use the sheet index to move between sheets.
Marathon mile 21.6–22.7
3rd Ave north to McDowell
Van Buren St · Roosevelt St · Portland St · TCP 32.1, 32.2, 32.3, 32.4, 32.5
North on 3rd Ave from Van Buren St to McDowell Rd, with closed side streets and LOCAL TRAFFIC ONLY. TCP 32.5 notes the NB/SB bike lanes on 3rd Ave at McDowell. TCP 32.1 is labeled "3rd Ave & Roosevelt" but draws E Van Buren St at N 7th St.
Marathon mile 22.7–25.0
McDowell Rd & 3rd St north
Central · 2nd St · 3rd St to Indian School Rd · TCP 33, 34.1, 34.2, 34.3, 35.1, 35.2, 35.3, 35.4, 35.5, 35.6, 35.7, 36, 37
East on McDowell, then north on 3rd St for about two miles. On 3rd St the sheets call for yellow caution tape along the highlighted line, and every cross street is barricaded. Thomas Rd (TCP 36) and Osborn Rd (TCP 37) stay open in part with lane closures.
Marathon mile 25.0–26.2
Indian School Rd & finish
Steele Indian School Park · 5K area · TCP 38.1, 38.2, 38.3, 38.4, 39
The finish area at Indian School Rd and Central. TCP 38.x covers Indian School Rd and 2nd St, and TCP 39 covers Central north of Indian School. The 5K runs inside and around the park, and no sheet in this set covers its route.

Plan flags
Found while building the page. None of these changes the TCP. They're the questions to settle before the plan goes final.
- Location field reused. Many sheets repeat one title-block location for a long stretch: TCP 26.1–28.2 all say "7th Ave & Grant St" and 29.1–31 all say "7th Ave & Jefferson St". TCP 25.1/25.4/25.5 say "1st Ave & Central Ave", which are parallel streets. TCP 32.1 says "3rd Ave & Roosevelt" but draws E Van Buren St at N 7th St. The site uses the streets drawn on each sheet for mileage.
- Match lines to sheets that don't exist. TCP 8.1 matches to "TCP 9.1" and "TCP 9.2", but the set has a single TCP 9. TCP 29.2 matches to "TCP 1.1". TCP 30 matches to itself.
- Blank dates. START DATE, END DATE and WORK HOURS are blank on all 83 sheets. Closure times need to come from the time table.
- River path gap. No sheet covers marathon miles ≈5.0–9.9 on the Rio Salado path. Confirm there are no crossings.
- 5K not in the plan set. The 5K loops Steele Indian School Park. No sheet draws its route, so confirm it stays off-street.
- 10K vs 10 Miler. phxmarathon.com lists a 10K, but the course files you sent are a 10 Miler. Confirm the distance.
- Finish location. The website text says the course finishes near Papago Park. All four course files finish at Steele Indian School Park (Indian School Rd & 3rd St).
