Hi Mamas!
I am looking to sign up for a mini or half marathon in the valley. Anyone know of one coming up in the next several months? I was looking online and found a Vally of the Sun one in March 2010 but the website doesnt give all the details and no one responded to my email, so I am wondering if it's actually going to happen. I have never done anything like this before, but I am looking forward to the challenge.
Thanks in advance for any info you have! :)
The 5K Walk / Run is this Sunday. We go though The Phoenix Zoo. The event is for breast cancer. Go to www.walkforhope.com. The runners go first. This would be great training because,it is not a flat run. Good luck!
Walking with Knauss Family,
D.
Their many marathons coming up. I believe in November the Walk for Autism is coming up.....I know lots of ppl that will be walking that one, including myself. Also, the PF Changs Marathon and Half walk for Cancer is in January I believe.
Good luck and walk for a cause
My husband is doing the Lost Dutchman Marathon in Feb. He says you can do the half.
P.F. Chang's Rock 'n' Roll Marathon
Event Starts: Jan 17th 2010
Hi M. O,
The only one i know that is coming up is the Susan G. Koman race for the cure. www.thethreeday.org
I believe it is in Nov.
good Luck!
I think in January the rock in roll marathon is coming up. Try to google it. I know there are several different walks coming up. This Sunday is a walk for City of Hope down by the phoenix zoo. Also this month is a walk for Race for the Cure. I have also seen a walk for Sarrc that benefits Autism. You can email me and I will try to find you the email or phone number or each event if you like. I think you can also find them by using google.
the sedona marathon is usually in February and you can just run the 1/2 good luck!
The Phoenix PF Changs 1/2 or full marathon on Jan 17, 2010. I can't think of the website to register and for details off hand but I'm sure you can find it on google.
But I do know for sure that this is the date for this marathon. It happens every year! Good luck and have fun.
The PF Chang's Marathon is coming up in January. That is always a big one. Also, there's a group in town called Arizona Road Racers. If you google that online, they should have a whole slew of information on marathons and half marathons that you can participate in. I'm just now getting back into running as well, so I may be looking in the near future to do a marathon. For now, though, I'm just running in our neighborhood. Good luck!!
I just started running and am looking for races , too. I just heard about this website that has all the local events. www.getsetaz.com
I'm planning to race in a couple events coming up...
Boo Bash Dash 10/31 Dobson Riverview- 10k
12k's of Christmas 12/12 Freestone Park 12k
I think they both have shorter fun runs, too, depending on what you're looking for. Good luck! I'm off to run. :)
yes, the Sedona Marathon is on Saturday, February 6, 2010. You can get more information at www.sedonamarathon.com. Many people love the Sedona Marathon because of the beautiful red rocks there and they have a 5K, half marathon and a full and it is so close to Phoenix! Many walk the 5K or half so don't feel you have to RUN it:)
There are quite a few mini and 1/2 marathons coming up. Have you checked:

i am planning to run the YMCA/Go daddy.com 1/2 marathon on October 24. I am currently training with couple of friends. We meet at the Arizona Canal on 32nd and Stanford.
Oh, I forgot I am a mother of triplets.
As many others have stated, I think the Rock 'n Roll 1/2 is a great race! Lots of spectators, and the performers all along the course make for a fun, motivating atmosphere! Good luck!
Rock n Roll Marathon or Half in Phoenix, January 2010
I live in Gilbert and I'm doing the 7-mile Turkey Trot through the City of Mesa Parks and Rec department on Thanksgiving morning (I believe Gilbert does one as well). I'm also doing Gilbert's "12 ks of Christmas" held on December 12 at Freestone Park. It's a 12k, which is about 7.5 miles, and everyone in the race is given a Santa Hat to wear, there's a Santa costume contest (who the heck would want to run in a Santa costume???) and at each kilometer there will be a choir singing various Christmas songs. As part of the same thing, people can also run/bike/pull decorated wagons in a 1.2k family fun run. The whole thing should be fun and festive. I've never run more than 4 miles at once, so I'm trying to build that up, but I did my first mini triathlon last May and LOVED it. Maybe look into that. I loved the variety and challenge that doing three different events offered (1/2 mile swim, 3 mile run, 14 mile bike ride). The Sherox triathlon in Tempe is a very well-run triathlon held every May (my husband did his first tri in May that was put on by a different company and it wasn't near as good an experience as mine was). My sister and some neighborhood friends and I did it together. So FUN and exhilarating and rewarding!
