TEAM TEMPE


Tempe Community Council Training Team
Connecting those in need with those who care

  Participate in the 3rd annual P.F. Chang’s Rock ‘N Roll Arizona Marathon & ˝ Marathon®!
 
TEAM TEMPE is a community-wide effort to raise money for human service needs in Tempe and the surrounding communities.  Whether this will be your first, second or 100th race, you are guaranteed to learn something new, get it better shape, make new friends and most of all, help those most in need.

How will this improve our community?

Money raised helps to benefit the Tempe Community Foundation and establish a permanent legacy of caring for our community. These funds will provide a sustainable endowment for current and long-term human service needs. You have the chance to make an impact on those in our community most in need ~ children without a safe home ~ seniors struggling with illness ~ families in need of affordable housing ~ the hungry ~ the lonely. In return, we will provide you with methods and schedules on how to train properly, organize group training runs/walks (for all levels of ability), provide you with special team training & race day shirts, invite you to special pre-race training workshops, pre-race dinner, a post-race Victory party and other incentives and perks.
