Om eventet

Formerly known as the Veterans and First Responders Memorial 5k/10k, the Memorial was renamed in 2022 to the ARIZONA HEROES MEMORIAL, and therefore we have updated the event name to match the Memorial for which this event supports.

Due to construction at Naranja Park, the event will take place at Steam Pump Ranch.

If you are a veteran (retired, active, reserve) or a first responder, please take advantage of the special rate JUST FOR YOU! 

This will be the 7th annual memorial run to raise funds for the Arizona Heroes Memorial at Naranja Park.  The memorial will be a place where people can go and reflect; they can honor their forefathers, grandfathers, grandmothers, aunts and uncles – whoever served. It will be an opportunity for education about veterans as well as first responders – they are equals in this memorial.

First 400 runners will receive an event shirt. Everyone will receive a custom race bib (sponsored by Fleet Feet) and a custom finisher's medal.
