2016 Partnership with SweetM Images

Hayley PollackUncategorized

We are continually looking for ways to make our runner experience just that much better. One of our struggles last year was having a consistent photography experience for our participants. Whether from the time it took to edit or not having the proper equipment or simply not the right knowledge, our photos from each race would vary in quality and quantity. Aravaipa is proud to announce that we are partnering with SweetM Images for all our Arizona-based 2016 events! Deron and Melissa Ruse of SweetM Images are not only phenomenal photographers but are dedicated runners themselves.

Women’s Training Program – Update

Hayley PollackCommunity, News, This Week In Aravaipa Running

It was a new venture; one in which I was unsure of the outcome. Hosting races is Aravaipa’s business model, creating a premier women’s only training program was, previously, not.

Israel ArchulettaNews, Press Release

Some position places might swap a little in last minute jockeying, but for the most part everyone continually goes around.  Bill Schultz​ reached his 1,000th mile run at Across the Years and earned his coveted jacket.
