TUESDAY NIGHT TRACK.

Tuesday Night Track is presently suspended due to the pandemic.

ARR offers interval training at two locations each Tuesday evening, at 6:15 at the Rose Mofford Track (23rd Ave. and Brown St.) or at Shadow Mountain High School (2902 E. Shea Blvd.) at 6:40 pm. There is no cost or registration. Just show up and have a good time making new friends while getting stronger and faster. Note: if you see that the high school is using the field for soccer or another event and don’t see any runners, please go to the Shea Middle School track at 29th St just north of Shea Blvd.

If you want to continue to train with either group, please become a dues paying member of the Arizona Road Runners, since the membership fees are what covers the cost of the coach at Rose Mofford and the track usage and insurance fees at SMHS. If you have any questions, please send us an email.

The workouts below are from Shadow Mountain High School. Coach Espinoza provides workout details the evening of the workout at the Rose Mofford Track.
