Arizona Rocks! 5K
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential, big temp swing
A cool 45°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Temps will climb significantly to 65°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

Race Info
The Arizona Rocks! 5K is a 3.1-mile trail run on the trails around Paloma Community Park in Peoria, Arizona, in the northwest Phoenix valley. The course is an out-and-back, with its turnaround at the halfway point. It is the shortest of the three distances run on race Sunday and the last to start, and the surface is mostly unpaved desert trail rather than road.
