ABOUT THE COURSE ROUTES
The chip-timed 10K and 5K courses use a mixture of concrete and dirt trails with a couple of stretches across paved streets. Wind your way through Cesar Chavez Park and Montana Vista and experience desert trails and grassy areas. The 1-Mile fun run (not timed) uses paved paths around Alvord Lake. The 10K and 5K also go around Alvord Lake.
Water will be available for runners and walkers at the start and finish, and midpoint, with a water station along the 10K and 5K course routes – view the water station location on the course maps.
Restrooms are available near the start, finish, and along the course routes – view restroom locations on the course maps.
Sports strollers, running chairs, handcycles, prostheses, and sports wheelchairs are allowed on the course when optionally selected during registration.
Pets are allowed at this event and must follow all Phoenix pet custodial rules, including keeping your dog leashed at all times.
The course routes and aid stations may vary slightly on race day and will be well-marked to help keep you on course.
Teams
The initial member registering for the race will be able to create their team during registration. Additional members will then select this team from the team drop-down.
Each team member’s race result will indicate their team name, so you do not need to qualify for team results to be recognized as a team.
To compete, you must have at least five members.
A team qualifies for group results when it has at least five members with valid race results. That team’s top five qualifying members are used to compute the team’s overall placement.
