About the Love Run Phoenix AZ
The race runs through Moon Valley Park, following a marked course through the park surroundings. Course staff are posted along the way to keep you on track. Those doing the longer distance cover the same loop twice, which means a second pass by familiar scenery before you finish. The terrain and setting are park-level gentle.
Packet pickup and check-in open on race morning well before the first wave goes out, so there is no need to scramble. The park hosts both distances at the same start area, and podium recognition goes to the top finishers in each gender.
