Prevent Child Abuse Arizona

Approximately 90,000 babies are born in Arizona each year, over half of whom are at risk for poor developmental outcomes including abuse and neglect. Since 1989, Prevent Child Abuse Arizona (PCA Arizona) has been working toward the day when all children in our state grow up safe and healthy. PCA Arizona’s research-based, effective programs reach more than 45,000 new parents and community professionals each year. Their mission is to prevent the abuse and neglect of Arizona’s children and their work strengthens families so that costly legal and social intervention isn’t needed.

The Prescott Unified School District Education Foundation is a new nonprofit organization which will support Prescott Unified School District‘s educational programs. The Foundation’s mission includes: to provide excellence in education, to promote innovation in teaching, and to partner with the community to enhance the quality of education for all students.

Prescott Mountain Bike Alliance

To preserve, protect and promote mountain biking, trail access and diverse riding opportunities on Prescott area public lands through community education, tourism, advocacy, and unified action.

Yavapai Food Bank

A decade in the running, the Whiskey Off-Road has raised funds and collected canned goods for the Yavapai Food Bank. Although the economy continues to improve, there are still many families struggling to feed their children. Up to 15,000 hungry children live in Yavapai County. Now more than ever, less-fortunate families in Arizona need our help. Currently, Yavapai Food Bank is feeding over 5,500 families throughout Yavapai County each month. Food distribution amounts to as much as 45,000 pounds of food weekly.

The Arizona Cycling Association is a locally incorporated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was founded in 2012.  The ACA is self-governed, self-funded and self-supported. We facilitate the development of interscholastic cycling teams for grades 6-12 and provide the education, training, licensing and insurance for student-athletes, coaches and volunteers. The league produces a high-quality mountain bike racing experience that emphasizes the value of all participants, camaraderie among peers, a positive sporting behavior and the cultivation of health over competition.

Prescott Creeks

Water is an especially precious resource in Arizona, and Prescott Creeks is a non-profit that promotes watershed stewardship through projects that enhance water quality and riparian habitat in the Prescott Basin. By educating the public about critical relationships between people and creeks, Prescott Creeks works with the community to implement practical solutions to local creek-related issues.

Celebrating 19 knobby tire hoedowns on Whiskey Row in the heart of Prescott, we’re excited to welcome y’all back to the Whiskey Off-Road! This year’s paisley art is designed for the 60 percent of participants who travel here from outside Arizona, as the theme weaves the unique visual experience of riding in the Prescott National Forest and the greater Southwest.

Whether it’s your first Whiskey or your 19^th, the weekend starts quick, watching the Pro Men and Women throw down in the Findlay Subaru Fat Tire Crit (Pro Tip: the Union Street climb is where the action’s at!). Stroll Whiskey Row and check out the massive expo with more than 45 vendors, including free sealant refreshes and espresso shots from Orange Seal and the latest in tread pattern tech from Maxxis Tires.

For those with climbing aspirations, the fastest male and female up Copper Basin Road will win a new Küat Rack, and every adult finisher will earn a Klean Kanteen stainless pint cup filled with a Mother Road Brewing beverage. Even the kiddos get in on the hoedown with their own Shimano Kids’ Fun Ride. Post ride, the high energy rolls on the Courthouse Lawn for Covers on the Grass, a full day of free cover band music from bluegrass and Americana to classic rock, pop, country and Caribbean.

This year’s Whiskey is ridden in memory of Prescott core lord Ed Furbush, proprietor of Southwest Sounds & Cyclery. His tiny shop of barely 150 square feet was a fixture of the community for 20 years, fostering the love of cycling that’s blossomed in Prescott since his arrival at the turn of the century.

Another Whiskey, another season of good times on two wheels. We’re glad you made the journey!

See ya trailside,

Greetings, Riders and Fans:

Welcome to Prescott for the Whiskey Off-Road, one of the premier mountain biking events in the nation. The Whiskey Off-Road is one of the most anticipated events of the year in Prescott, kick starting our special event season, and demonstrating Prescott’s reputation as a premiere venue for outdoor recreation.

I would like to share a few facts you may not know about Prescott. Our rich history includes the establishment in 1864 as the Territorial Capital of Arizona. Prescott is the Yavapai County Seat. Nestled at an elevation of 5,200 feet above sea level amongst the largest stand of ponderosa pine forests in the U.S, Prescott’s perfect weather provides an average temperature of 70 degrees, with four beautiful and distinct seasons, and breathtaking landscapes complete with granite mountains, lakes, streams, and rolling meadows filled with wildlife. There are hundreds of miles of multi-use trails, golf, fishing, kayaking and family attractions. Later this year, with our friends at the Prescott National Forest, and the local mountain biking community, we will open the first phase of Bean Peaks, one of just a handful of gravity flow mountain bike trails in the southwest.

Prescott is home to museums, performing arts venues, and even a planetarium. Prescott offers western culture mixed with a love of the outdoors. Prescott is easily accessible to Phoenix, Flagstaff, Sedona and even the Grand Canyon. Prescott Regional Airport connects to the world with daily flights to Los Angeles and Denver.

Prescott is also home to four institutes of higher learning, including the internationally-acclaimed Embry Riddle Aeronautical Unversity. Prescott is an ideal place for those seeking a historic, charming community surrounded by natural beauty, infused with culture and higher education.

While here in Prescott be sure to visit the one of a kind, locally-owned restaurants, bars, breweries, cafes and shops that add to the unique charm of Prescott.

Thank you for joining us for the 19th annual Whiskey Off-Road, and best of luck to all of our contestants.

Sincerely,

Phil Goode
Mayor, City of Prescott
