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!

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 the same day as the Rescue Run, 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
