Dave’s Run for ALS
Sunday, April 1, 2012 / 5k & 1 mile Family fun run
Description
No foolin’ – we’ve moved Dave’s Run for ALS 5K to April 1, 2012. Severe weather and safety issues forced us to cancel the race a few days ago (which you can read about here), but the overwhelming response when we asked when you wanted to run the race was, ‘soon!’
So a few things:
The main details for Dave’s Run stay the same:
Who: Southern Arizona Roadrunners
What: Dave’s Run for ALS 5K & Family Fun Run
Where: Same location – Crossroads at Silverbell Park
Time: 8:30 a.m.
New Date: April 1, 2012
Many of you have picked up your bibs and shirts – those remain the same. Bring the bibs to wear on the day of the race.
If you did not pick up your bib/shirt, you may do so the day of the race.
THERE WILL BE NO PACKET PICKUP AT THE RUNNING SHOP OR ELSEWHERE ON SATURDAY MARCH 31.
Misplace your bib? No problem! Show up a few minutes early on race day, and we’ll issue you a new number!
If you wanted to register for the race, but missed out – you can do so at the at the link below or on the day of the race.
We’d like to thank Marana Parks & Recreation for working with us to quickly secure a new date for the race that fits into the community race calendar. Thank you for your support of the Southern Arizona Roadrunners, the Jim Himelic Foundation for ALS and great racing in southern Arizona.

On with the show!
Dave’s Run for ALS is an event for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. The event is named for the late David Filer, avid runner, active SAR member, and local business owner. David was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, in the summer of 2000. Currently there is no cure for this fatal disease. Proceeds from the event will go specifically for ALS research, via the Jim Himelic foundation.
A separate event: Family Fitness Fun Run/Walk will also be held, over a distance of approximately 1 mile.
Special award for best age-graded performance, male and female
Free Kid’s Race sponsored by Craig Dabler, Jewelers
