Race Distances and Courses
The Ramp Run is back! Thanks to the UA, we’ll enjoy the beautiful scenery and gut-churning climbs of the Arizona Stadium Ramps!
The 4 mile Couple’s Relay is designed so that each runner has a running partner. The first runner (male or female) will carry a popsicle stick with the team’s number and will pass the popsicle stick to the second runner at the completion of the first 2 mile leg. The second runner (male or female) will race the final 2 mile leg, handing the popsicle stick to the timers at the finish line.
If you don’t have a partner for the Couple’s Relay, don’t worry: we’ll help you get one on race morning!
The 4 Mile Open race is an open event with men’s and women’s categories. Top finishers overall and top three in 10-year age categories will receive playful awards courtesy of the Main Gate Merchants.
The 2 mile walk/jog is non-competitive, and all participants will be eligible for raffle prizes.
The course winds through the UofA campus and may or may not be flat.
