2019-06-20 07:30 - 17:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Pelican Hill Golf Club, 22800 S Pelican Hill Rd, Newport Beach, CA, 92657, United States
Meet and play golf with Marines Raiders from the Special Operations Community. In 1942, the first two Raider Battalions were created to unleash highly trained Marines in the Pacific during World War II. The battalions were decommissioned at the end of World War II until February 2006 when the Marine Corps stood up three battalions called, Marine Special Operations Battalions. These battalions fall under Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC) and US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM).
Since their rebirth in 2007, they have deployed at an unprecedented rate and have upheld the tradition and deadly precision of the first Raiders. In 2014, the Marine Special Operations Command formally changed the name of this new band of Marine Special Operators to Marine Raiders. In honor of these Marines and the service they provide, the Marine Raider Foundation, presents – Raider Invasion 2019.

Dawn to Dusk Arizona
2017-12-09 07:00 - 19:00 UTC | McDowell Mountain Regional Park, 16300 McDowell Mountain Park Drive, Scottsdale, AZ, 85268, United States
Zia Rides will be back running the show at Dawn to Dusk – Arizona again on Saturday, December 9, 2017 at McDowell Mountain Regional Park.
We are working on some improvements/changes for 2017 that we hope you will like. First of all, we are going to try something new by staging from the Four Peaks Staging Area instead of the Pemberton Trailhead. We hope this will alleviate the parking and space headaches and allow for more fun at the event venue. If it doesn’t work out, we can switch back in 2018 to the old venue. Second, we plan to keep much of the Pemberton Trail in the course. But, we will have to make some updates with the addition of Cinch/Scenic trails on the way up to Pemberton Trail and Bluff/Granite/Shalmo Wash on the way back from Pemberton Trail. Third, we are going to add some age group categories for juniors, masters 50+, and old-timers 60+. Finally, with a slightly longer course, we are going to give you a chance to go for a full 12 hours at Dawn to Dusk. We are now going to start at 7am just before sunrise and finish at 7pm just an hour or so after dark.
New maps of the course and venue will be available on the website and sent out on Facebook very soon.

Register Here: https://racewire.com/register.php?id=8305
Benefitting the Marine Raider Foundation
The Marine Raider Foundation was established to provide benevolent support to active duty and medically retired MARSOC personnel and their families as well as to the families of Marines and Sailors who have lost their lives in service to our Nation. Our local community in particular has seen the great support provided by the Marine Raider Foundation. All monetary donations from our sponsors and profits from registration are sent directly to the Marine Raider Foundation. Find out more at MARSOCFoundation.org

Course-Staggered Start
The 5k is a TIMED EVENT on mostly paved, neighborhood roads. The course is subject to change if road construction is not completed in time. By popular demand we have staggered our walkers from our runners. 5k Walkers (35-60min 5k) will start at 8:30am, followed by 1/2 mile Fun Runners at 8:45am and 5k Runners (less than 35min 5k) at 9:00am. If your training leaves you either faster or not quite at goal pace come race week, let us know so we can adjust your category. There will be no 1st place prizes for walkers, this isn’t the Olympics and we don’t have judges to ensure you are keeping one foot in contact with the ground at all times.

Race Shirts
Registered 5k participants will receive a race shirt. Additional shirts may be purchased during registration for 1/2 mile Fun Runners or anybody else. Availability of shirts is not guaranteed for registrations after 1Nov.

Raffle
We are already seeing some great prizes donated for our raffle. Raffle tickets will be distributed to registered racers. One raffle ticket per registration plus a raffle ticket for each additional dollar donated online. Raffle tickets will also be available for purchase (cash or check) during packet pickup.

Referrals
New this year is the incentive to refer your family, friends and coworkers to this race. After successful registration you will receive a referral code. For every new registrant who applies your referral code you will receive $2 credit toward your registration fee and will receive up to a full refund following the race. Get out there and invite everyone you know!
