Some Feedback From Our Participants:
"The Arizona Distance Classic Half Marathon was the best-run race we have ever participated in-and we've been in quite a few! Thank you for this race that is in such a beautiful place, at a wonderful time of year, with fabulous support on the course and an opportunity to buy VIP privileges (portapotties with no lines is an excellent concept)." - Virginia
Awesome race! You guys did an AMAZING job planning this race. - R. Snarski
I loved this race!! Of course, the weather was perfect, but so were the course, the organization, the host hotel, the t-shirts, bibs and medals! - Michelle

Corbett's Corner
Running On A Solid Foundation
John Corbett is a founder of the Arizona Distance Classic and the co-owner of All About Running & Walking. Each newsletter we will bring you some of his thoughts, tips and wisdom that will help get you to the starting line!
Here is January's Column - Running on A Solid Foundation.
While watching an HGTV show last night I started thinking about the similarities between building a house and starting a training program. The contractor on the TV show was building a home near the coast of North Carolina. He was showing all of the extra care that went in to building a house that would have to withstand the high winds and torrential rains of the hurricanes that it would certainly be exposed to.
From the strength of the foundation to the quality of the lumber to the industrial strength fasteners that held everything together, this home was being put together with all of the time and care necessary to keep it standing under the most adverse conditions.

Registration is on Record Pace!
The AZDC is not a Secret anymore!
Registration for The Classic is on record pace. While it was an honor when we were named by Runner's World as the region's "best kept secret", it is no longer true. This year registration is up. Way up. We will cap the field at 3,000 to keep the Ultimate Boutique Experience for all of our participants. You travel to Oro Valley for the spas, the resorts and the boutique nature of the event. We can't wait to see you.
Don't wait as we are on track for our earliest sell out yet. Register now!
