Tackle Trauma

Tackle Trauma is held in Tempe, Arizona, on February 8, 2027, with a single 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 7:00 a.m. Elevation gain is not listed for the course. The 7:00 a.m. gun is early even by 5K standards, which in the Phoenix valley usually means running in the coolest, stillest part of the day.

An early weekday-morning 5K works nicely as a fitness check that does not eat your whole day. Experienced runners can treat it as a hard tempo effort and be back at their desk by mid-morning; newer runners will find 3.1 miles reachable after a month of run-walk sessions three times a week. For a 7:00 a.m. start, eat something light at least 90 minutes beforehand or skip breakfast entirely, and give yourself 10 to 15 minutes of easy jogging and a few strides so the first mile does not come as a shock.
