The “Hottest Race on Earth” to Take Place in Scottsdale on June 22

by

Grayhawk AZGrayhawk residents, can you feel the burn? If you couldn’t before, you’re guaranteed to at the Scottsdale Beat the Heat race, dubbed the “Hottest Race on Earth.”  The inaugural event is set to take place on Saturday, June 22, 2013. Runners from all across the country will flock to WestWorld in Scottsdale to run a race in honor of Phoenix’s hottest day in history – June 26, 1990. On that fateful June day in 1990, temperatures reached 122 degrees Fahrenheit. The scorching hot weather closed down offices, two-third’s of the city’s bus fleets and caused the cancellation of many flights.

The 11.22-kilometer or 5-kilometer race is scheduled to start at 2:47p.m. This is the exact time of day that the 122-degree record was hit in 1990. Obviously safety will be a huge concern throughout this race and it is recommended that runners wear protective gear and make an extra effort to stay hydrated. Professional Medical Transport is sponsoring the race so there are sure to be plenty of ambulances on hand for any heat-related or running injuries.

Fortunately, there is a light at the end of the tunnel for these runners. When racers cross the finish line they’ll enjoy plenty of sprinklers and a four-story inflatable water-slide to ensure a thorough cool-down.

An additional upside to this otherwise challenging race is the beautiful view runners will enjoy while racing through picturesque Scottsdale, AZ. An exciting and innovative event like “Scottsdale Beat the Heat” is just one more reason to love living in Grayhawk Scottsdale.
