What's the Challenge?

The Arizona Distance Classic and the Town of Oro Valley have partnered together to produce The Arizona Distance Classic Corporate Challenge. This is a team event for businesses designed to help build teamwork across departments and promote fitness within the workplace. Runners and walkers compete inside the already existing Valley of Gold Half Marathon and Oro Valley Hospital 5k, while representing their business team. *Running clubs, running stores and gyms are also welcome and encouraged to participate.

Partnership Purpose

The Event is designed to showcase that running and walking promotes a healthy lifestyle, which in turn creates healthier employees who rely less on health insurance and helps control the bottom line. It is a great way to boost company spirit and a fun way for employees to interact outside the office.

Community Engagement with a Competitive Edge!

The Arizona Distance Classic Corporate Challenge will support and encourage the community to participate in the active healthy lifestyle. The event is uniquely positioned to support those new to fitness who are taking control over their lives by celebrating and rewarding their effort and participation. We will also celebrate the competitive excellence of those more experienced athletes.
