From the Organizer
Footprints for Hopi is an annual fundraiser run that benefits the residents of the Hopi reservation through our distribution program which includes food, hygiene, clothing, and other goods. This annual event aims to unite runners throughout the world once a year while supporting our beloved Hopi people. We are excited to bring this fundraiser run to the wonderful pines of Flagstaff, AZ for a Sixth year! By joining us in July, you will make a footprint for Hopi amongst the San Francisco Peaks or "Nuvatukwi'ovi", a site of importance and sacredness to our Hopi people.

From Endurance Grid
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The 10K is the distance where running stops feeling like a starting point and starts feeling like a sport. Long enough to require a real training block. Short enough that race day is fully manageable for a first-timer who's put in the work.
Race day energy at a 10K is community at its best — strangers cheering you by name, people moving toward the same goal, an atmosphere that solo training can't replicate. It's fast enough that you'll spend the whole race pushing rather than managing your effort.
This is also the distance that builds the base for everything else. Most athletes who go on to run half marathons, do triathlons, or compete in HYROX started here. What you need: running shoes fitted to your stride, a training plan, and the race on your calendar. The registration is what makes the deadline real.
How long to train: 4–8 weeks for most fitness levels.
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
