We wish to thank the following

for their wonderful support of 

The Rim Country Challenge

HALF MARATHON COURSE DESCRIPTION:

  • This Half Marathon course is not flat and fast so don’t expect to set any speed records.  It is called the Rim Country Challenge for that reason.  It starts and ends at Green Valley Park.

  • Due to the hilly terrain this race will challenge you as a runner.  It should be great training for marathons.

  • There are two significant hills. One is called “The Challenge"; Paysonites call it Airport Hill.  It is .45 mile long with an elevation gain of 165 feet.  The other is Vista Road with an elevation drop of 210 feet in .64 mile.

  • The majority of the course is undulating and runs its way through residential and scenic views of the Town of Payson.

5K COURSE DESCRIPTION:

  • The 5K course is not as challenging and runs through residential areas of Payson.  It starts and ends at Green Valley Park.

YOUNG ATHLETES FUN RUN:

  • This course is within Green Valley Park.

The Half-Marathon & Relay Race and 5K Race will be timed by Arizona Running Events Company.
