Phoenix 10K race hits 50 years, plans to add marathon through Paradise Valley

1 week ago | azcentral.com | Logan Stanley

Art Mollen distinctly remembers the very first 10k race he hosted in Arizona. It was 50 years ago, and he wasn’t expecting much. After building up a group of local runners, he thought 500 runners would show up for the race. Mollen – who was working as an osteopathic doctor at the time – went to his office and grabbed 500 tongue depressers for finishers to determine their placing. More than 1,500 runners showed up. “After the first 500, no one where knew they finished,” said Mollen.

He knew his star runner was going to be quick. But he didn’t expect a time that fast that early in the season. The 4:13.51 isn’t a state record; in fact, it’s far off of the record of 4:03.98 set in 2015 by Rio Rico’s Carlos Villarreal.
