   _______________________________________________________

Q: What if it rains on race day?
A: We are hoping for another beautiful Arizona November morning, but regardless, the event will take place rain or shine.


Q: Do you offer virtual options?

A: No, this is a live event only.  Only those that complete the run (or walk), will receive the 2023 finisher medal.


Q: Where should I park?
A:  There are parking spots available in Tumbleweed Park.  

Q: Can I exchange my shirt for a different size?
A: If you purchased an event shirt with your entry, you will receive the size and style you selected during registration.  However, if you need to exchange your size, it can be done on a first come/first serve basis starting at 7:35am on race morning.  If you need to exchange your shirt for any reason, please do so at the event as we cannot make changes once the event is over.

Q: I am entered in the event but can no longer attend, what are my options?
A: As noted when you registered, we cannot offer deferments or refunds. However, we do allow you to transfer your race bib to another participant anytime before Monday, November 20th .  Shirts and any other event related merchandise will NOT be mailed to those that do not attend the event. If you would like to transfer your race bib to another participant, please use the TRANSFER LINK


Q: Are dogs allowed on the course? 

A: No – although we love dogs, due to safety concerns, they are not allowed on the course.  Elements that could impede the safety of runners, such as bikes, skates, skateboards, and pets on the course, are not allowed. The safety of our runners is our number one priority.  This is a large event with many children, please do not bring your dog.  


Q: Can I give/sell my race entry to another person?

A: Entries are transferable, but must be done through our registration site.   Transfers are allowed until through Monday, November 20th.  Completing the transfer through our system is MANDATORY.  This is for the safety of the runner as well as necessary to satisfy insurance requirements of the event. If a runner collapses or is otherwise injured during the race and is running as someone else, we would not have emergency information available for them. This could result in further injury.  Instructions on how to transfer to another runner can be found HERE .


Q: Do I have to wear my race number?
A: All participants must wear their race bib and have it clearly displayed on their FRONT during the event. The race number is how you are timed and scored. If we can't see your race number, you may not be listed in the results. Anyone on the course must be wearing a race bib. The only exception would be a child (4 years or younger) that remains in a stroller for the duration of the event. Under no circumstances can you wear a race bib not assigned to you, or carry a race bib for someone else.


Q: Where can I look up the race results?
A: When you finish your race, you can find your results on the scrolling monitors near the finish line. You can also text your bib number to the number found on the back of your bib to receive your time. A few minutes after you finish, preliminary results can also be found online at 131Results.com. Please check your results before you leave. You can pick up your age group award as soon as your results are posted. We cannot mail age group awards.
