Thank you in advance to the families for supporting your runner through the training to get to this weekend, it’s a big undertaking not without its sacrifices so thank you! 2.

Box 1029 Payson, AZ 85541 [877] 467-2559 Toll Free [928] 472-9437 Local [928] 474-4501 Fax [email protected] WELCOME TO PAYSON AND THE SURROUNDING AREA THE CLIMATE. People who have been around the state of Arizona a long time refer to many areas in Northern Arizona as “mountain towns”. We are closer to the Equator than much of North America, and normally people think that the Southwest is mostly hot desert. Elevation makes all the difference in the world morning and night, summer and winter. Payson is right at 5,000 feet, just like Denver, Colorado and the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and higher than almost any place East of the Mississippi River. Accordingly, we enjoy a mild, four-season climate and literally some of the cleanest air in the world. Flagstaff is colder with much greater snowfall, at 7,000+ plus elevation. Payson is greener than Prescott. At about 17 inches of precipitation per year, we get much more than Phoenix, which averages 6+ inches a year and much less than areas up on the Mogollon Rim thirty miles east of here, that averages 110 inches of snow per winter. July and August bring Arizona a monsoon sea- son, with afternoon thunderstorms. We welcome the moisture and beauty associated with them. Payson receives more rainfall from them than the desert areas and higher elevations receive more than Payson. January and February are the coldest months. If it snows, it is usually gone in a day and if it’s sunny, daytime highs are usually over 50°.
