Runners and walkers, come join us for O.U.R. Phoenix Rescue Run to kickoff your fall racing season! Course will be held at the Peoria Sports Complex, a perfect location for a fast, flat race. Disposable timing chips provided by Race Timers.  T-shirts and custom medals given to every participant who completes the 5k with prizes awarded to the top finishers in each category.

Phoenix is known for perfect running weather in December with lows in the 50’s and highs in the mid 80’s. All proceeds will directly benefit Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.), a non-profit organization whose mission is to rescue and rehabilitate children sold in sex slavery. Please come join us for a worthy cause and maybe attain a Personal Record in the process!

Kids wearing their Race Bib and signed in by a parent can have fun jumping on inflatables, face painting, balloon making, coloring, etc. while they are waiting for their parents to run their 5k and before they run their own race!

​Virtual 5k Participants:

For those out of the area, come participate virtually! As a Virtual Runner you will choose a 5k course on your own and run it in behalf and support of Operation Underground Railroad. You can choose to complete your Virtual Run on November 4th when the 5k Rescue Run will be held, or choose a day that is convenient for you. Your Race Bib and Custom Medal will be mailed to the address you provide.

When you have completed your 5k Virtual Run, be sure to update your Facebook and Instagram status letting your friends and family know of your accomplishment! Add the hashtag: #ourphoenixrescuerun
