The 3rd Annual Desert Solstice Invitational will take place at the scenic Crooked Tree Golf Course on September 9, 2016. Come out and run one of the most unique 5k races in Southern Arizona. The race course will consist entirely of golf course grass and dirt with a large lake in the middle of the course. The course is extremely flat with a short, gradual hill that you will run twice. Bring the family to enjoy music, glow in the dark paint, great food, and an energized running atmosphere. We are expecting over 2000 race participants of all ages. We will have 11 different races ranging from elementary school through high school with a community race. The elementary and middle school aged participants will compete in a 1.5-mile race while everyone else will run a 5k (3.1 miles).
