Event Overview
The Always Hope Easter Run in Phoenix is a community-oriented running event held at G.R. Herberger Park. This event focuses on a small-group experience by limiting the number of participants per wave to ensure the course does not become crowded. 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 offers several distance options to accommodate different fitness levels:
- 1 Mile Family Fun Run
- 5 km
- 10 km
- Half-Marathon (21.1 km)
Race Format and Timing
This run is designed to be low-pressure and does not use timing chips. However, timing is optional; participants can track their own progress using various mobile applications or request assistance from an on-site coordinator to record their time. Results can be submitted online to receive a certificate of completion.
Participant Amenities
There is no formal packet pickup process on the morning of the race. Instead, participants receive their swag bag via mail, which includes a running T-shirt and a finisher's medal. Race bibs are distributed on-site on the day of the event. Registration also includes a virtual training pack sent via email and an invitation to join a local running club. For those unable to attend in person, a virtual run option is available, allowing participants to complete their chosen distance at any location.
