I joined as a Benefactor. It's three times the cost of a normal membership. But, I get to run in 10 races for free. The Christiansen Trail Run, The Desert Classic 2 miler, All five of the Summer Series races, The Jerome Hill Climb, The South Mountain Classic 5k and the Mazatzals (mad as hell) Trail Run in Sunflower, AZ.
Here's the races I'm adding:
Papago Park 5k on May 23.
Reach 11 Park 5k on June 14.
Rio Vista Four on the Fourth on July 4.
Kiwanis Park 5k on July 18.
South Mountain 5k on August 9. (those are the summer series races)
Jerome Hill Climb. Here's what ARR says about it:
"Join the ARR for the 39th Annual Jerome Hill Climb. This unique event is a 4.6 mile uphill run on paved and dirt roads that begins at the Jerome Historical Museum and passes through historic downtown Jerome before finishing on a nearby mountain top."
Here's a view of Jerome, "America's Most Vertical City". Yeah, we start near the bottom and finish way up high.

That hill climb sounds rough!
Nice! More races, I am super jealous.
I told my wife that when we get to AZ that I want to join one of these running clubs. Does the PHX one have practice runs that are close to Chandler?
PS. I am going to email you a random question about home financing - not sure on how much you have to deal with that.
PSS. Which garmin do you have that it has your VO2 on it? I have the 305 and I've never seen it on there - but I haven't really fiddled with it much.
That should keep you training. Sounds like heaven (except for that hill)! Happy Racing Season.
I'm thinking my relay buddies Karen and Taryn need to take a field trip to Jerome to train on some Arizona hills!
You shush your mouth Jeff!!!! ;)
Pat, you amaze me. I've walked through Jerome... I think I'll live vicariously through you on that one!
I didn't know ARR had that option!
I am glad I will see you out at the summer 5k series!
Have you ran the Kiwanis 5k before? I am highly considering adding it to my schedule. (It is only 3 or 4 miles north of my inlaws) I'd like to get one in during June as well, but I don't know if I'm going to be able to swing it... Possibly July 4th?
