    logo_sedonamarathon2Sedona AZ (October 16, 2015) – The Sedona Marathon Event, which is produced by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Bureau, is set for February 6, 2016. The event includes four races: 5K, 10K, Half and Full Marathons. In 2015, the Sedona Marathon Event generated $4.3 million in direct spending in the Sedona area by attendees and participants, generating $130,000 in sales and bed taxes for the City of Sedona.

    In 2016, engaging area youth and fundraising will be a major focus for the Sedona Marathon Event thanks to a partner grant from the Arizona Community Foundation of Sedona (ACFS). The grant of $8,000 will fund “Youth Teams.” The new Youth Teams program will allow Sedona Marathon Event staff and volunteers to work with area schools and will encourage school “teams” to train together, learn together, and get fit together.

    Through funding by the ACFS, these children will participated in the race for free. This allows the schools to raise money for their organizations through donations generated per runner. In 2015, 72 children, ages 5 – 17, participated in the Sedona Marathon Event.

    The Sedona Marathon Event’s SCF-funded project entitled “Youth Teams” addresses three critical needs in the community:

    • Provides complimentary registration to youth teams, ages 5 – 17, bringing Sedona area schools together to build a sense of pride and community, encouraging healthy habits and active lifestyles.
    • Engages children through outreach, education, and incentives to participate in this healthy local event.
    • Provides an outstanding fundraising mechanism for area schools.

    If you are interested in becoming involved with the Youth Teams with the Sedona Marathon Event, please contact David Keeber at dkeeber@npgcable.com, or call 928-451-1250.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
