The month of June really hits all the right spots in and around Scottsdale and Phoenix. You can catch a major tan while sipping some drinks, checking out unique events like a fun run for underachievers. See all that June has to offer!
0.5K: The Ultimate Underachievers “Run”
Date: June 4th, 2022
Time: 12:30pm – 4:30pm
Location: Wasted Grain
7295 East Stetson Drive Scottsdale, AZ 85251
From the website:
The Ultimate Underachievers “Run” will kick off at Wasted Grain Scottsdale. There, you’ll carbo-load on a slice of pizza and hydrate with a house shot and beer (all included with your registration). Before the “run” we’ll limber up in the most entertaining way possible and prepare for the shotgun start for the “run”! (no shotguns will be used, we’re using party poppers and we’re huge fans of sarcasm if you haven’t caught on yet)
Don’t worry, we will keep you hydrated along the way with a water station. Fear you may need first aid? Don’t worry, we have that covered too. The kit may only contain lollipops and Barbie bandaids, but hey, it will be there!
Upon finishing the clearly physically and mentally taxing 0.5k, you’ll celebrate crossing the finish line with what else but champagne and donuts! Oh and some victory music at Boondocks!
