Longwave Radio Run - Tempe Town Lake

Run a longwave to celebrate 100 years of wireless communication between Sweden and the US. This is the first Longwave Radio Run held in the US! 

The distance - 10.8 miles - is chosen carefully. It is the actual distance for a longwave radio wave.

Included: A 10.8 miles self-guided run around Tempe Town Lake, t-shirt (limited sizes, first come first serve), one free beer after the race, and perhaps some surprises!

Schedule

8.00am -- Check in and warm up
8.30am -- We start running

After the run we assemble at Hundred Mile Brewing for post-run conversations.

(Schedule subject to adjustments.)

Why a Longwave Radio Run?

We are celebrating a 100-year old radio station! Grimeton Radio Station in Sweden was built in 1925 to communicate wirelessly with the U.S. It was added to the list of World Heritage Sites by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in 2004.

PS Registration fee proceeds benefit SACC programs and the GTAZ’s Young Diplomats program for high school students.
