Run for Coffee Lovers 5K/10K/13.1 PHOENIX

Lace up your running shoes and awaken your senses for the Run for Coffee Lovers 5K/10K/13.1 PHOENIX on Saturday, July 25, 2026. This unique event, held in Phoenix, AZ, invites runners of all paces and ages to celebrate their passion for both fitness and coffee. Choose your challenge from a Family 1 Mile Fun Run, a brisk 5K, a rewarding 10K, or push your limits with a Half-Marathon (13.1M). The event promises a supportive and stress-free atmosphere, with race waves commencing at 7:30 AM, 8:00 AM, and 8:30 AM to help mitigate the typical race day conditions, which usually see highs around 106°F and lows around 85°F.

This "pure run" takes place on a road course, with G.R. Herberger Park (5802 E Indian School Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85018, USA) serving as a frequent location for this series, and course maps will be emailed to participants closer to race day. What truly sets this race apart is its dedication to a personalized, community-focused experience. Instead of traditional timing chips, you can choose to track your own time or have event coordinators assist you, fostering an environment where achieving personal goals takes precedence. Race coordinators are on hand to offer encouragement, along with providing water and snacks along the course.

Participants will receive fantastic themed swag, including a stylish running shirt shipped directly to your door and a finisher's medal to commemorate your accomplishment. Digital training tools are also provided to support your preparation. Spaces are limited for each wave, ensuring a cozy and intimate running experience for everyone, with previous editions often capping at 15-20 runners per wave. Don't miss this opportunity to blend your love for running with a warm, stress-free experience, culminating in the sweet taste of victory – perhaps even accompanied by some bonus java for the first five finishers.
