This is a 1-mile partner run for kids/teens with special needs (physical or mental) and their Buddy. The aspiring athlete gets to experience the race just like any other runner by wearing a runner’s bib, earning a medal and taking home a race shirt! The Buddy is there to assist or accompany the special needs athlete and ensure a fun race experience. The Buddy does NOT have to register or pay for the race, unless he/she would also like to receive the race bib, medal and shirt. Strollers, wheelchairs and service animals are permitted during this race.

New Race Route!

All races start and end at Mansel Carter Oasis Park and run along the Queen Creek multi-use trail (paved asphalt). Note that the park is so new that Google has not updated the map for this area yet. Once you have parked, look for the Shun the Sun start and finish blow up and walk that direction. Races will start heading west on the trail, then turn around near Power Road. The 15K will continue east past the park, then turn around again where the trail ends, near Ellsworth Road.

Because of the width of the trail and the out-and-back course, Please treat this like a double-track and RUN ONLY TWO ABREAST. To help runners maximize their potential on the trail, we will use wave starts for both the 15K and 5K. Please be honest about your running pace and step up to the start line accordingly. This makes it a positive experience for everyone!
