Drivers will have several roads to avoid in Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tempe during the marathon, which has drawn more than 25,000 runners to the area and tens of thousands of spectators.

Runners participating in the marathon, half marathon and 10k will get to enjoy scenic views of the greater metro Phoenix area, including the red rocks of Papago, along with music and entertainment.
