The Marathon Project Gold Wave Marathon

The Marathon Project Gold Wave Marathon is a limited-field marathon on the grounds of the Wild Horse Pass Resort in Chandler, Arizona, and a Boston Marathon qualifier. Entry requires a marathon under 3:30:00, or an equivalent 1:42:00 half marathon, 46:00 10K or 22:00 5K. Runners start on Wild Horse Pass Road, head east for just over three tenths of a mile and turn right onto Loop Road for six laps of a flat 4.26-mile loop, with a high point of 1,142 feet and a low point of 1,135 feet, then finish where they started. The Gold Wave starts together with the professional field at 7:00 AM.
