The Marathon Project will be taking place on a 4.3-mile (6.9km) loop on what race organisers Ben Rosario, coach of Northern Arizona Elite, and Josh Cox, agent refer to as “some of the flattest, most pristine roads you could ever imagine.”

The run will happen at the Gila River Indian Reservation in Chandler, Arizona.

The expectation is that the men will aim for sub-2:10:00 while the women to best a 2:24:00 pace. Pacers will be provided.

“The top athletes are the priority, though depending on the field there could be additional pace groups.”

The Tokyo Olympic standards are 2:11:30 for the men and 2:29:30 for the women. The athletes that are lined up are primarily from North America.
