Run for Ryan House
Run for Ryan House is a community fundraising event at Riverview Park in Mesa, Arizona, held on November 8, 2026. The event marks 16 years of Ryan House and brings together race participants, families, and teams to support Ryan House's mission to enrich quality of life and provide respite for children with life-limiting conditions and their families.
Distances and options:
- 10K Run/Walk
- 5K Run/Walk
- Family Fun Run/Walk
- Virtual race (US addresses only)
Participants include runners, walkers, wheelchair users, stroller users, and leashed dogs. Bicycles, roller blades, skateboards, and motorized devices are not allowed on the courses. Wheelchairs and strollers are requested to start at the back of the pack.
The event uses chip timing with real time results and photos available online and via a mobile app. Top three male and female age group awards are given for the 10K and 5K; age groups cover youth through 80 and over. Registered participants receive a custom event medal and a ring spun cotton shirt, with an option to decline the shirt for a reduced fee. Virtual participants receive a medal and shirt and their packet is mailed the week after the event. Mail-in registration via form with payment by check is an available option.
Packet pickup is available the day before at Road Runner Sports in Tempe and at the race site in Mesa. Race day registration is offered on site. The event supports Ryan House fundraising and team-based remembrance activities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
