Battle of the Branches 5K Run
Battle of the Branches is an annual event held at Arizona Falls on East Indian School Road in Phoenix on October 3, 2026. The event raises awareness in the fight against veteran suicide and directs proceeds to veteran-specific services.
The event includes the following options:
- 5K Run/Walk in person
- Virtual 5K with finisher medal and dri-fit tech t-shirt
Proceeds support services provided by the Rally Point Arizona Navigator program, including Navigation, Peer Support, Advocacy, and Education. The in-person event features chip timing with real time results and event photos, age group awards for the top three male and female finishers in standard age categories, and a pre- and post-race runner's brunch with light refreshments.
Virtual registrations are restricted to US addresses and event items for virtual participants are shipped after the event date. Children ages 12 and under receive a registration discount of fifteen dollars on the 5K fee. Race day packet pickup is available at the race site and race day parking is organized at nearby locations such as Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, Arcadia Park, and Ingleside Middle School.
The event is organized by StartLine Racing and supports fundraising organizations that work with veterans and their families. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
