BEER ID CHECK
We know you will be ready to celebrate your race in the Beer Garden at the Finish Festival presented by We-Ko-Pa, and we are here to make it easy for you!
At the Health & Lifestyle Expo, stop by the Beer ID Check booth to have your ID verified ahead of time. Runners of legal drinking age will receive a hand stamp that will serve as their ID on race day, so you don’t have to run with your ID.
You can also purchase a commemorative pint glass (which includes an extra free beer) or buy additional beer at the Beer ID Check booth.
FRESH INK FOR RACE WEEK!
Visit our partner, Grand Canyon Law Group, at the Health & Lifestyle to get a temporary tattoo! It's a simple fact that a cool new tattoo will help you run faster on race day, so don't miss it!

SMILE - NEW MEMORIES IN PROGRESS!
When you visit StrengthApp's booth, you'll walk away with something to help you remember the 2026 Mesa Marathon forever! StrengthApp will have a FREE photo booth available, so gather your run crew, snap a couple of photos, and leave with a printed photo strip to help memorialize race week.
