COVID-19 – For everyone’s safety and protection at this event, you must wear a face mask. After starting the race, you may remove your face cover and put it back on upon crossing the finish line. Ensure you practice safe distancing, a minimum of 6 feet from others, and limit the number of people you assemble with to no more than ten people. The race is staged into waves to restrict the number of people waiting during the lineup at the start line. The waves also allow for better spacing of participants on the course.

5K Course Directions
From the Arizona Falls Start Line northeast of Indian School Road between North 56th Street and North 60th Street at GR Herberger Park, head northeast along the north canal bank to North 68th Street crossing over the footbridge to the south side of the canal just before reaching North 68th Street.

Teams
The initial member registering for the race will be able to create their team during registration. Additional members will then select their 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.
Medical
A first aid kit will be available at the start and finish for minor incidents. If you or someone you are observing needs medical assistance, please notify a race crew member. If you believe you or someone else may be experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911 immediately.
