Celebrate the start of a new year with a tri-city foot tour through the Valley of the Sun! Run through the butte-iful red sandstone formations of Papago Park, snap a selfie in front of colorful art installations, and soak up the southwestern style while dancing and dashing through the streets. Kick off the weekend with a pre-race party at the Health & Fitness Expo in Phoenix, experience the Sonoran desert radiance while adventuring through Scottsdale and Tempe, and finally, relax and refresh at our Finish Line Festival at the urban oasis, Tempe Beach Park. Rock 'n' Roll Arizona is a harmonious blend of vista and musical magic that draws a lively batch of​ locals and visitors alike who are ready to bring the heat!
