The park offers scenic views and pleasant surroundings that make it an ideal location for both seasoned athletes and newcomers to the sport of running.
This event has been running since its inception, making a significant impact on Phoenix's local community each year. With over 1000 participants in previous years, this race not only brings together runners but also supports various charitable causes, including scholarships and fitness programs that benefit the city’s residents.
The course venue is diverse yet manageable, featuring an out-and-back layout with notable route features such as gentle hills and flat stretches. Runners will start from Central Park at 7:30 AM for Wave A, followed by Waves B and C starting respectively at 8:00 AM and 8:30 AM.
