Lace up your sneakers or ready your wheels for the inspiring Heels 4 Wheels 5K - 1M on April 11, 2026, held in the scenic Desert Mountain Park in Queen Creek, Arizona. This isn't just a race; it's a vibrant celebration of movement for everyone, offering both a 5K and a 1-Mile distance with unique "Heels" divisions for runners and walkers, and "Wheels" divisions for participants utilizing wheelchairs or assisted walkers. The inclusive atmosphere extends to welcoming strollers, wagons, and even leashed pets, ensuring a joyful experience for the whole family under the expansive Arizona sky.

The Heels 4 Wheels event proudly supports the Spina Bifida Association of Arizona, with proceeds directly funding adaptive cycles and essential services for children and adults navigating life with Spina Bifida. Participants can expect typical race day conditions with comfortable lows around 53F and highs near 86F, offering pleasant weather for an active morning. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your accomplishment with a rewarding post-race "Runner's Brunch" featuring granola bars, fruit, water, and Gatorade.

Beyond the personal achievement of completing your chosen distance, you'll receive a custom event dri-fit shirt and a finisher's medal, with age group awards presented to the top three in the 5K Heels and Wheels divisions. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply enjoying a supportive community event, every step at Heels 4 Wheels makes a tangible difference in building a brighter future for Arizona residents with Spina Bifida.
