Phoenix Run Run Rudolph Half Marathon
The Phoenix Run Run Rudolph event in Peoria, AZ takes place on December 20, 2026 at Rio Vista Park and offers multiple in-person and virtual race options.
Distances available:
- Half Marathon
- 10K

Courses follow the multi use New River Trail System on paved asphalt and concrete surfaces, with the start and finish located at Rio Vista Park. The trail remains open to the public during the event.
On-course support includes water stations at multiple mile markers for each distance, restroom locations on the half marathon and 10K courses, and GU gel stations for the half marathon. The half marathon has a four hour cut-off time. Chip timing is provided with real-time results and event photos available after the race.
All participants receive a custom event medal and a custom dri-fit tech shirt or the option to decline the shirt. Male and female age group awards are given to the top three in each age division for race day participants. The Reindeer Dash entrants receive a medal, bib, and tech shirt; parents who only accompany children on that course do not need to register.
Packet pick-up is offered before race day at a local running store and on race day at Rio Vista Park. The event is held rain or shine and proceeds benefit Ryan House, which provides palliative and respite care and continuity of support for children and families.
