Welcome Back
We are excited to announce we will be hosting the 16th Annual Walk the Fight & Run the Distance in person on February 5, 2022 in-person at Tempe Beach Park. However, for those who do not feel comfortable walking with others in the community, we are offering a virtual participation option similar to the last year's walk.
Using this new hybrid model, we are offering several different race options for you. Please pick the one that fits your abilities and comfort level. If at any time you need to alter your race option please contact us and we will happily oblige. For those attendees walking in person you can choose from a timed 5K run (3.2 miles), a 4K walk (2.8 miles), or a 2 block fun walk. For those choosing the virtual option, you can choose a 15K run or walk (9.3 miles)- this will be untimed or a 4K walk (2.8 miles). Not sure how to participate virtually, watch the video below.
