Race Calendar

Living in the Phoenix area has it’s perks, since the are full of amazing races. I’m always forgetting when the races occur, so I started keeping my race wish list in a blog post, but now the list has grown! I’m switching over to a page to see if this helps keep me organized. Most of these races are in the East Valley area. I’m definitely open to suggestions!
