Running Races in Tempe, Arizona

Tempe anchors the Valley of the Sun's winter race calendar, with 300+ days of sunshine making it a go-to destination when the rest of the country is buried in snow. Rock 'n' Roll Arizona finishes here at Tempe Beach Park after a course that winds past the red sandstone buttes of Papago Park, and IRONMAN Arizona opens its swim leg on Tempe Town Lake each fall. Add in trail routes through the Papago Buttes and the Arizona State University campus, and Tempe offers race-day variety rare for a single city.
