It’s all run and games this Sunday, November 16, when the 28th annual New Times 10K takes over Steele Indian School Park, 300 East Indian School. Bad news for Sunday sloths: The event’s exhaustive options eclipse any excuse to sit it out.Not up for a 5 or 10K run? Consider a little walk and roll: Hit the street for a 5K walk, 10K inline skate or 10K wheelchair race. A 400-yard kids’ dash and 5K stroller stroll let little ones make a run for it, and everybody is encouraged to come in costume for a chance to score prizes (and to conceal the fact that they’re sucking big air). Participant perks include a post-race picnic, free body massages, and live music by Danny Rhodes and the Messengers.
A portion of the proceeds benefits Phoenix Children’s Hospital. Race-day registration, $25, runs from 6:30 to 9 a.m. Call the 10K hot line at 602-744-6531 or see www.phoenixnewtimes.com.– Jill Koch
Century Plenty Fun
Cyclist take to the street
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
