2021 Arizona Sunrise Series - Phoenix

The 2021 Arizona Sunrise Series serves as a fundraiser for St. Mary's Food Bank.

With your support, we offer an array of programs designed to relieve hunger. Here are some of the many ways we assist the communities of Arizona.

Food Distribution

St. Mary’s distributes food to nearly 500 nonprofits partners in 13 Arizona counties. These agencies include food pantries, dining halls, homeless shelters, and more.

Children's Feeding Programs

One in three children in Arizona lives in poverty and is at risk of going to bed hungry tonight. Arizona ranks 47^th out of 50 states in the number of children who may not know where their next meal is coming from. Our vision is to see that no child goes to bed hungry, so they can live healthy and productive lives. In response to these needs, St. Mary’s Food Bank operates programs that fight child hunger, including Kids Cafe® and the Backpack Program.

Community Kitchen

The Community Kitchen is a life skills and food service training program for those with barriers to employment. Students gain the skills to get jobs offering livable wages, benefits, and opportunities for advancement through hands-on food service training as well as classroom studies.

Due to COVID-19 there will be changes in place to keep everyone safe.

1. Water coolers will be back out at all water stations. Bottled water will only be available at the finish line.
2. All StartLine staff will have masks and gloves
3. Participants will be required to wear a mask in the event area but not out on the course.
4. Social distancing will be required in the event area.

NEW FOR 2021!

Due to an overwhelming request from our 2019 and 2020 participants we are making some changes to how we start our 2021 series. Participants will have 2 options to start the race:

- First, Registration/Check-In will open at 5:30am. From 5:30-6:15am there will be an open start line. Meaning you can start whenever you would like during that time frame.

- Second, we will have a traditional mass start at 6:30am. There will be no option to start after 6:30am.

You do not need to inform us of which option you are choosing. These options are meant to give you more flexibility of choosing when you start.

If you have any questions please email us at info@startlineracing.com
