campus, nestled at the base of the San Francisco Peaks.
Hopi potter Rainy Naha explains, “The runners are called
‘sweepers’ because they sweep any sorrows, illnesses, or
hardships from the previous day off the path and start the day
anew.” Runners weave
their way through scenic trails, earning a race T-shirt.
Awards are presented to the top male and female runners, as
well as the top three male and female finishers in each age group.
The race fee for pre-registered runners is $15/adults and
$5/youths (16 and under). Pre-registration
