ARR 2026 Summer Series Overview
The ARR Summer Series is a collection of five running events held at various locations across the valley in Phoenix, Arizona. The series offers participants the opportunity to compete in multiple races throughout the summer months, with distances primarily focused on the 5K, alongside a special 4 Mile event on the 4th of July.
Participants can register for individual races or for the entire five-race series. Those who complete at least four races are eligible for the Summer Series Grand Prix awards. Points for the Grand Prix are tallied automatically for all participants. The individual race schedule includes:
- 5K at Neil G. Giuliano Park, Tempe Town Lake
- 5K at the Riparian Preserve, Gilbert
- 4 Miles at Rio Vista Park, Peoria
- 5K at Kiwanis Lake, Tempe
- 5K at Cesar Chavez Park, Laveen
Specific pricing is available for club members and runners under the age of 17. Adult participants who register for the full five-race series receive a race T-shirt, while those entering individual races have the option to purchase one. Registration must be completed online through the designated platform, as paper entries are not accepted on race days. Each event includes awards for overall winners and specific age groups based on the participant's age on the day of the race. The July 4th event also features a BBQ.
