Coffee Lovers Run Phoenix
The Coffee Lovers Run is a community-focused event held at G.R. Herberger Park in Phoenix. This event is designed as a small, private group run with a participation cap for each wave to maintain a stress-free environment. It is open to participants of all ages and paces, including runners and walkers. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian.
The event features several distance options:
- 1 Mile Fun Run
- 5 km
- 10 km
- 13.1 miles (Half-marathon)
Standard timing chips are not used, making the event a low-pressure experience focused on personal goals. However, timing is optional; participants can track their own progress using various mobile apps or request assistance from on-site coordinators to record their results for the online leaderboard.
Registered participants receive a swag bag that includes a finisher's medal, a running T-shirt, and a finisher's towel or other giveaway. To simplify the process, there is no packet pickup on the day of the race. T-shirts are shipped directly to the address provided during registration, while race bibs are distributed at the park on the morning of the event. A virtual run option is also available for those who prefer to complete their distance at a different time or location. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
