Our Mission

Our Mission.

Arizona Road Racers (ARR) is one of the largest and oldest running club in Arizona. ARR was incorporated in November 1970 as a non-profit organization to promote running for health and fitness and is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.

ARR stages annual races from one mile to a half-marathon, and hosts social events for members.

Learn more about Arizona Road Racers membership or fill out a membership application at any of our races.

Our Philosophy.

We believe running is a community affair and our goal is to grow running throughout Arizona with affordable, fun and family friendly events. Knowing kids are the next generation of runners, we always allow members’ kids (under 18) to participate in our events at not cost with advanced registration. Non-members under 18 can run any of our races for $5 with advanced registration.
