What
Health Net of Arizona (formerly Intergroup of Arizona) and the Phoenix Coyotes present the 23rd annual Runner's Den Classic Road Races. Start off Super Bowl Sunday with a morning run, skate or walk at one of Arizona's oldest and most popular events.
History of the Race
Since our start in 1978, over 300 athletes have run this pancake-flat course in under 30 minutes. This year, Health Net of Arizona, (formerly Intergroup of Arizona) and the Phoenix Coyotes are excited to join the Runner’s Den and bring two new events to the schedule. Inline skaters will have a chance to experience the same course that produced one of the fastest 10K road races in history.
