SATURDAY, 8AM
October through March
Take McDowell or Van Buren to Galvin Parkway (a.k.a. Priest in Tempe or 64th Street in Scottsdale). Enter Papago Park / Phoenix Zoo from the only traffic signal on Galvin Parkway between McDowell and Van Buren (closer to Van Buren) and go to the Phoenix Zoo parking lot at the end. Turn left in the zoo parking lot. The drive curves right. Continue to the end.
This our most popular run/walk enjoyed. Walkers generally complete a 2-3 mile walk through the park. Runners enjoy a varied course with the first 3-4 miles consisting of rolling hills and a flat section along the canal followed by a challenging 2-mile optional add-on section with steeper terrain.
As always, frontrunners are encouraged to bring their children and/or their pets. We meet back at the parking lot for a 5-10 minute cool-down stretch and then go to a nearby restaurant for breakfast.
