Flash's Arizona Pacemakers is a professionally coached, co-ed running group for all ages and abilities, beginner through advanced. It caters to all levels of enthusiasm for the wonderful sport of running and offers you a chance to gather with like-minded individuals to set and pursue your personal goals. Train for your first race with an awesome family of runners who'll show you the ropes. We meet year-round, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Weekdays feature guided workouts and Saturdays are generally easy paced long runs with hills or variations in pace.  We have 30 minute 5kers and 17 minute 5kers, marathoners, and everything in between.
