First off, we are so proud of the Athletes who have been training all summer! It’s not easy to get up early and run during summer break.

Information:

1. The Fall sports season starts this coming Monday, August 7th! ALL ATHLETES are required to be fully cleared on registermyathlete.com before being allowed to practice with the team. Athletes who are not cleared will be sent home until each item is completed on registermyathlete.com.

Boosters will provide bagels and drinks for athletes after the race.

What:

Low-key, grass roots, relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy some summer running and challenge yourself in a different way. Explore the varied terrain you’ll find in cross country and trail running, including rocky dirt trails, grass and some sidewalk. Timing clock, results posted shortly thereafter. Top 3 in each 10 year age group will be recognized after race, so stick around for a bit.

The course will be open for running around 5:30 AM. Check in with coaches for race bibs and pins. Race number goes on the front and MUST be visible at the finish line.

Where:

Desert Foothills Park in Ahwatukee. Limited parking in parking lot. May park along street along Marketplace Way, on the west side of the park if lot is full. Official address is 101 Marketplace Way SW, Phoenix, AZ 85048

Bathroom Facilities:

The park itself has limited facilities, which are sometimes open early in the morning and sometimes not. Please plan accordingly. The closest business is McDonalds, which borders the park to the northeast.
