Dave McKay Half Marathon and 5K

Lace up those running shoes and join Big Brothers Big Sisters of Flagstaff (BBBSF) for the Dave McKay Memorial 38^th Annual Half Marathon and 5K Fun Run on Saturday, August 8^th at Wheeler Park in downtown Flagstaff.
 
The Half Marathon follows Flagstaff’s Urban Trail, up onto Observatory Hill and follows Forest Service dirt roads to beautiful mesa views. Runners should be prepared to catch their breath during the race, as elevation rises from 6900 to 7600 feet at the turn around.
 
The 5K is a shorter course to Observatory Mesa, challenging enough for all levels of runners. The Kids’ Dash is a quick run for the younger ones from Wheeler Park to Thorpe Park and back. All kids receive a finisher’s medal.
 
Registration includes a Fratelli’s Carbo Load Dinner which is at 6:30pm Friday 8/7 at Thorpe Park.  An award ceremony will follow the race at 12pm, Saturday 8/8, at Charly’s Pub and Grill.
 
The Half Marathon is $75 from June 1^st to August 7^th and $80 on race day. The Half Marathon Walk starts at 6 a.m. and the Run starts at 7:30 a.m. 5K Fun Run is $35 before August 8^th and $40 day of, and kicks off at 7:45 a.m.
 
All proceeds from the race will aid BBBSF in their vision to bring a Big Brother or Big Sister relationship to every child who needs or wants one.
