New Features

NEW: We’ve added an additional heat and narrowed the time range for the first three heats to reduce the number of runners in each heat. This change will help create less crowded fields, especially for runners who experienced a cramped start last year.

Course Details

COURSE DETAILS: Four times around the Phoenix High School Track

Race Fees

Option 1: Bring 2-3+ boxes of dry cereal. YES you read that right! The SOU food bank coordinator expressed to us in 2019 that the students are excited when there is cereal in the food bank because there rarely is and when it is there it doesn't last long. So, we thought it would be a fun treat before Christmas to stuff their pantry full of cereal goodness! We also hosted a can food drive at our Turkey Trot for the SOU food bank and a portion of the proceeds went to them as well so don't worry, we made sure they had other food items.

Option 2: $13 online or $15 day of (cash or check only) which will also be donated to the SOU Student Food Pantry.
