Flagstaff ROAM – Runners On A Mission is a local non-profit family/youth running club. Ages 9 to 100 can participate. Open to beginning runners and competitive runners alike. Runs are all year long, twice a week for an hour on local trails and paths. Runner’s have the option to participate in local races, Junior Olympics, Track, Cross-Country, as well as other events throughout the year. All racing and practices are optional and not required for participation.
Along with running together, we help build community through local, national and international mission work. We shovel snow for shut ins, clean trails, feed homeless, sponsor assisted living elderly, build homes in Mexico and fill shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. Our running and our mission work are done in a faith-based, non-denominational atmosphere.
