Arizona Raptor Run 2024 Highlights Community and Adventure

This past weekend, some of the Addictive Desert Designs team went to The Arizona Raptor Run (AZRR), hosting its annual off-road event in Parker, AZ, bringing together enthusiasts for a weekend filled with adventure and camaraderie. Participants had the option to meet in Parker or join one of two groups for a 180-mile dirt route. Our group chose the latter, successfully navigating minor setbacks, including a flat tire and a blown coolant hose, thanks to the teamwork displayed by all members.

Upon arrival in Parker, participants enjoyed a dinner at the hotel where plans for the following day were discussed. The Saturday activities included a partnership run with Wake 4 Warriors, aimed at raising funds for veterans. In appreciation, the charity hosted participants for breakfast and a memorable morning on the river.

The day continued with a hike to an abandoned mine, where food was provided for all. The event concluded with a family photo at P Mountain, showcasing the strong community spirit among participants.

Overall, the Arizona Raptor Run exemplified excellent leadership and collaboration, reinforcing the ethos that “if one of us has an issue, we all have an issue.” This event not only highlighted the strength of our community but also our commitment to supporting meaningful causes. We are grateful for the participation and support of all involved.
