Weekend with Carrie
Whether you've had the chance to meet Olympian Carrie Tollefson or this will be your first opportunity, you'll quickly agree when we describe her as the fun girl next door who just happens to be a hall of fame elite runner and broadcaster.
You'll hear her on ESPN and NBC Sports as a commentator at the Chicago and New York marathons, internationally at track and field championships, and at home on her C Tolle Run podcast. She also loves to coach women at Moms on the Run as National Fitness Director and be mom to her three kids: Ruby, Greer and Everett. Carrie will lead the fun during our weekend activities — but beware, you never know when she'll break out in dance moves! |
the Race and accomModations
|
Rock 'n' Roll Arizona is known as a flat, fast race through the best of Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tempe! You'll run through the red rocks of Papago, past murals from local artists and down urban streets of three major cities. The on-course entertainment makes up the heart and soul of the event. Live bands and DJs will pack the streets playing hits from all genres and decades of music to keep you moovin' and groovin' from start to finish.
Host Hotel Our accommodations and some of our events will take place at Tempe Mission Palms, a Hyatt hotel and elegant southwestern retreat nestled in downtown Tempe. The AAA Four Diamond Award-winning hotel sits in the heart of the lively Mill Avenue District, walking distance to dozens of shops, restaurants, and galleries. The hotel is based at the race finish line and has a welcoming rooftop pool and hot tub for relaxation. Please note space is limited! The host hotel may fill and we will secure additional rooms at nearby properties if our event is not sold out.
