Memorial Day Run 5K/10K/13.1 PHOENIX

The Memorial Day Run in Phoenix takes place at G.R. Herberger Park on May 23, 2026. The event offers multiple distances and a virtual option. Starts are organized in waves with a cap per wave; the event describes itself as a smaller, private group run with coordinator support on course. Registration for listed races is shown as closed for the event instance.

Timing is optional; participants may track their own time with an app or ask coordinators for assistance. There are no timing chips. Packet pickup is not required because race shirts and some swag are shipped to the registrant's US mailing address. Race bibs are provided on race day.

Included items and services listed for participants include mailed running shirts, a finisher's towel or giveaway, a finisher's medal, a digital training pack, online results and a certificate of completion, and an invitation to local running clubs. Virtual runners receive a digital training pack and can submit results to receive a medal. The event notes ongoing charity initiatives tied to miles logged after the race.
