Gilbert, AZ
Entry is $35 now and rises to $40 after Nov 16, 2026, so registering before then saves $5.
This race is a memorial run honoring a man named Bob Hicken and his connection to Gilbert. It draws runners, walkers, and families together for a morning centered as much on remembrance as on running.
After the race, the start area opens into a full celebration, with local vendors, food, kids' activities, and an awards ceremony. It reads more like a block party that happens to have a race attached than a standalone running event.
