2026 Arizona Sunrise Series

2026 Arizona Sunrise Series

Arizona runners don't stop running as the temperatures rise we just get started a little earlier! Why run in just one event when you can save so much by registering for the entire 7 race series! And don't forget - this is a StartLine Racing Series which means big prizes!! Get points for every event you complete, with extra points being awarded based on your age group and overall finish. At the end of the series the top 100 point earners, plus all participants that complete at least 4 of the 7 series events, will be entered into our Arizona Sunrise Series Prize Drawing. Along with great prizes from StartLine, three people will walk away with a $500 gift card (which we suggest you use to get out of the Phoenix heat!) Overall awards will be given out at the end of the series on August 9th. Check out the full Arizona Sunrise Series Rules and Regulations here .
