Age Group Awards Pickup
If you did not receive your award for placing in the top-3 in your age group in the Valley of Gold Half Marathon
or Northwest Valley 5K on race day, don't despair! You or your friend / family member can claim your award at 1-2-3 Fit's
new location on La Canada Drive, just south of Lambert. The fitness club is still under construction, but someone will
be there from 12–4pm on weekdays with the awards. If needed, feel free to contact 1-2-3 Fit at 520-575-9800 to
arrange an alternate time. Awards will be available for pick-up through May 1, 2008.
Don't forget the importance of strength training to bolster your running success! The team at 1-2-3 Fit can help and
will offer special pricing to AZ Distance Classic race participants and their families. Just show them your race bib or
race shirt when you come by to register for a program. Grand Opening is expected in May — race in now, to be
included in Charter Member festivities.

"I have been the national spokesperson for Team in Training since 2000, attended over
50 Team in Training events and have witnessed first hand the spectacular results the
fund-raising has had on research, treatment, and patient services for people with blood
related cancers", stated John Bingham, Founder of John Bingham Racing. "I wanted to
do more to help! I knew that I had a unique opportunity with the Arizona Distance Classic
making it a non profit event benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma society."
2008 will mark the 4th annual running of the Arizona Distance Classic, comprised of the
