Arizona Road Racers Summer Series #1

Papago Park 

The turnout for this event was the largest in the ARR’s 40-year history, boasting over a thousand participants. The race wound its way through Papago Park, through a tunnel and along a canal. Despite the narrow course and record-breaking number of participants, the staggered start made the course a lot more navigable than might have been expected.
Brooke ran with Greg as her primary guide and Mike and Torsten as frontrunne...

Saturday was a great race day for Achilles Scottsdale. We had 11 team members show up to run the Mountain to Fountain 15K.
