2026 WOMEN'S FINAL FOUR BOUNCE PRESENTED BY GEICO®

Lace up your sneakers and grab a basketball for a truly unique event in the heart of Phoenix! The 2026 WOMEN'S FINAL FOUR BOUNCE PRESENTED BY GEICO® invites youth up to age 18 to be part of the excitement surrounding the NCAA Women's Final Four on Saturday, April 4, 2026. This festive 0.7-mile "bounce" isn't just a race; it's a vibrant parade-style experience, offering thousands of participants the chance to dribble their way through the spirited streets of Downtown Phoenix.

The event kicks off at historic Heritage Square, where participants will gather for family fun before the bounce begins promptly at 10:00 a.m. From there, the lively route winds through the city, culminating at the Phoenix Convention Center, home to the free Women's Final Four Tourney Town presented by Capital One. This exhilarating finish plunges participants directly into the heart of the official fan festival, complete with entertainment, celebrity appearances, interactive games, and exhibits. As a special memento, the first 3,000 registered youth will receive their very own official NCAA basketball and a commemorative t-shirt. Typical race day conditions in early April in Phoenix boast pleasant highs around 84°F and lows around 59°F, with only a 1% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for this unforgettable celebration.
