We have two exciting things happening in February!
Valentine's Day Theme: Singles and couples welcome! We'll have stickers for you when you check in. Red if you're taken, Green if you're single! Feel free to spruce up your running outfit to match the theme, too!
Brooks Running Partnership! Brooks is releasing a brand new shoe and they'll be at Checkpoints, in force, to demo it, show it off, and give away a bunch of stuff! It's going to be a big party so don't miss out!
How it works
Arrive at The Shop between 5pm and 6pm to get checked in.
The Checkpoints map gets revealed at 6:00pm.
If you sign up ahead of time, the map will get emailed to you at 4:30pm!
Run to as many Checkpoints as you can in an hour and collect raffle tickets at each one.
Get back to The Shop by 7:00pm for the raffle!
Win prizes and enjoy some beers and delicious food!
Did we mention that it’s FREE to participate?
Some rules
HYDRATE!
Please bring plenty of water and extra water to cool off with during the run!
Obey all traffic laws as you run from Checkpoint to Checkpoint
There is no set route and we don’t close streets for this, so stick to the sidewalks, crosswalks, and follow all pedestrian traffic laws!
No scooters, bikes, skateboards, or other “vehicles”
This is a running event! Get from Checkpoint to Checkpoint on your own two feet!
Parking is tricky! Plan ahead!
There is street parking all around The Shop and a parking garage by Tempe Center for the Arts. Plan ahead and follow all posted parking rules! Ride-share is also highly encouraged!
Have fun and be respectful!
This is a fun, social running event! Be courteous and kind to all your fellow runners and humans throughout the event!
