Three Events to Choose From

Choose from three events: The 5k walk is perfect for an enjoyable fitness activity -- get out, exercise with friends & family, & enjoy the festival. The 5k run cruises through the closed streets of Downtown and bohemian Fourth Avenue. The certified 10-miler is a rare chance to race 10-miles, for novice and expert alike. The 10-Miler is part of SAR’s Running Shop Desert Grand Prix, with prize money and age group awards. A perfect preparation distance before a fall marathon or half!
