Some rules
- Obey all traffic laws as you run from Checkpoint to Checkpoint! There is no set route and we don’t close streets for this, so stick to the sidewalks, crosswalks, and follow all pedestrian traffic laws!
- No scooters, bikes, skateboards, or other “vehicles.” This is a running event! Get from Checkpoint to Checkpoint on your own two feet!
- Parking is tricky! Plan ahead! There is street parking all around The Shop and a parking garage by Tempe Center for the Arts. Plan ahead and follow all posted parking rules! Ride-share is also highly encouraged!
- Have fun and be respectful! This is a fun, social running event! Be courteous and kind to all your fellow runners and humans throughout the event!
