While we have a posting for the Frank Kush Family & Dog Fun Run & Walk on our GCSG website, I want to be sure you don’t miss out on the 18th annual event coming up on Saturday, October 17 at Tempe Town Lake. Grand Canyon State Games is honored to be listed as a Friend of the Frank Kush Youth Foundation.
The Run-Walk annually attracts between 1,000 and 1,200 participants and features a 5k competitive run, 5k walk, and a one-mile walk. It’s a low-cost, family-fun event, and previous race experience is not required. All who enter receive a t-shirt, and the children get medals. It’s a great way for your dog (at least four months of age and current on all vaccinations) to have a day of exercise and enjoy the company of other dogs.
Frank Kush, the man who put Arizona State football on the national map, works out religiously at the age of 80 and has always advocated the benefits of being physically fit. (Just ask some of his former players about having to run up Mount Kush at Camp Tontozona.)
Andy Dzurinko, who serves on our GCSG Board, is the main force in organizing the Family & Dog Fun Run & Walk. Over the years, the Frank Kush Youth Foundation has donated more than $100,000 to schools and non-profit organizations to promote physical fitness.
So promote your own physical fitness and good health while supporting a worthy cause on Saturday, October 17. You’ll find all the details on how to register elsewhere on our website.

The Grand Canyon State Games is a multi-sport Olympic Festival providing a showcase for the talents and aspirations for Arizona and America's youth regardless of age or ability and to share many of the great attributes of our state. In fact we have had a 3 year old come down the mountain in our Winter skiing event and a 99 year old gentleman throw the javelin in our Track & Field event. We truly have something for everyone.
