This lively event offers both a 5K and a 10K distance, inviting runners of all levels to embrace their inner buccaneer. The race kicks off promptly at 8:00 AM MST, with packet pickup conveniently available from 7:30 AM until just ten minutes before the start. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 84F and lows near 59F, coupled with a minimal 1% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a spirited run under the Arizona sun.
Both distances feature a scenic out-and-back course, beginning at 502 W Coral Gables Dr, Phoenix, AZ 85023, USA.

All finishers will proudly receive a commemorative medal to mark their achievement, and for those who truly embrace the pirate spirit, awards will be given for the best costumes.
