The second annual Tri For The Cure AZ took place April 20, 2008. Over 900 women and children came…read moreout to participate and there were spectators galore! There was a great energy at the event and it was fun more than competitive so i totally recommend it to beginners or people who want to get a taste of what doing a longer distance triathlon is really like. It's also more appealing for first time triathletes because the swim takes place in a pool - much easier than open water! The distance is short for triathlons, even shorter than the normal sprint distance. It consisted of a 400 meter swim, an 8 mile bike, and a 2 mile run. There were options for people to do relay and duathlon as well. Originally, my friends and I thought we'd be starting at 7am and done by 8:30, but there was a delay in the start, and the way that it was set up, they started each person separately, so we we spent the entire morning there. Since the transition area closed at 6am, it made for a long day... but it all worked out! The event ran smoothly once it began and the pool was great! The bike course was a square and pretty flat, so it was easy enough to do the two laps... and the run was a one-mile loop so it went by pretty fast as well. They had adequate water stops on the run and the park we ran through was beautiful. Even the expo (which took place at Gainey Village) was fun... and it's obviously all for a great cause - I lost both of my grandmothers to breast cancer so it's one that hits close to home... I pray we'll find a cure soon. Now, the question is, what's our next race? :)

This can be a test to see if anyone actually reads my reviews, haha, and can offer suggestions on how to contact yelp to change the event title. Everything Gabi M. reviewed regarding this event is right on the money. Great sprint triathlon for beginners (and veterans). I did this tri as a relay both in 2009 and 2011 and both times my teammates and I had a great time. Both times I brought my hubby and son and they had fun too. My teammates and I plan on doing this again next year so it'll be my third year doing this race. And I'm considering doing some that are longer distances too!

Took days to get a response from them, then we set a time for the initial phone call and they never called. I had to call them back. The place is dirty, gross and super small. Once my daughters assessment was over, the lady looked at me and said "got the cash"? I felt like the whole thing was a scam. She said she would email me all the available times slots they have open and who would be available to tutor, whelp, it's been a week and she never sent the email. I should of trusted my gut when I walked in and immediately felt like I should walk out. Do not go here!

I enrolled him in 2: one for math tutoring and the other for a robotics building camp with Mindstorms Lego kits. It was expensive. It was mediocre and average in the math tutoring. The robot camp is a complete fiasco and I encourage you to not enroll or attend. I was told when registering him that there was only one space left. Obviously, myself and the 20 other mothers who were paying the exorbitant price were all told the same thing. It's a large room full of old computers and a few Mindstorm Lego kits with one supervising adult managing the room of 20 boys. For the price I paid for the camps I could have bought 2 of the kits and kept him at home. My son was bullied and there was no supervision for him to talk with and take the situation too. I have dropped in at times other than the pick up to assess the situation and witnessed a room full of kids with NO adult or teacher. Perhaps the other programs during the school year or one on one sessions are different-I did not have any experience with those. My family experienced the summer camps being held at the Grand Canyon Prep charter school which is a mile away from the address for the business. Our experience is bad, I would not go back, I would like to rate this experience somewhere around -100 on the richter scale and encourage other moms to seek out summer camps elsewhere for their child's safety.

Phoenix Muni has been renovated a couple times and is still hanging around. It has a light rail stop nearby which it is helpful for the students to come over and see a game.
