Creighton University and Make-A-Wish Arizona 5K

The event is the 4th Annual Creighton University School of Medicine Phoenix Make-A-Wish Arizona 5K Run/Walk held at Papago Park Fitness Trail in Phoenix, Arizona. The designated 5k Fitness Trail loop starts and ends at the West Buttes parking lot at 625 N Galvin Pkwy, Phoenix, AZ 85008.

Each participant receives a race t-shirt, a race-day goody bag, and a raffle entry for prizes donated by local businesses. Registrations received after 1/22/2026 are not guaranteed a t-shirt. Race-day check-in and bib pickup occur at the West Buttes parking lot, and ADA-accessible port-a-potties will be available in the start and finish area.

Parking is available at the West Buttes parking lot but is limited; zoo parking across Galvin Parkway is listed as overflow. The course is a well-groomed dirt trail with some paved portions and includes one water station about halfway along the loop.

After the event there will be snacks and drinks, prizes for top finishers, and raffle items. Results will be posted shortly after the race. Registration categories include general registration, Creighton students, and Make-A-Wish families and kids. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
