Quartzsite Firefighter Sunrise Run Set for March 21 at Community Center
La Paz Unified Firefighters host their annual Sunrise Run on March 21, with a 5K for $25 and 10K for $35, both starting at 7:30 a.m. at the Quartzsite Community Center.
La Paz Unified Firefighters are inviting runners and walkers of all experience levels to lace up for the annual Firefighter Sunrise Run on Saturday, March 21, with a 7:30 a.m. start at the Quartzsite Community Center on East Chandler Street.
The event offers three in-person distances: a 1-mile fun walk/run at $15, a 5K at $25, and a 10K at $35. Every registration includes a T-shirt. Virtual participants can also take part, with the virtual 1-mile priced at $10, the virtual 5K at $20, and the virtual 10K at $30, all with a T-shirt included.
The Community Center sits near the southwest corner of the Town Park at 295 E. Chandler St. Participants will be required to check in and sign a waiver upon arrival. No packet pickup schedule has been announced beyond the 7:30 a.m. start time.
Organizers describe the course as "a relatively flat course making it a fun opportunity for experienced runners trying to beat a record or a first-time participant that was forced to come from friends or family." March's desert conditions in Quartzsite, which typically bring mild morning temperatures before the heat of spring sets in, make the timing well-suited for outdoor racing.
Anyone with questions can reach the La Paz Unified Fire Medical District through the RunSignUp event page, where a message can be submitted directly to the race director.
