Join us for a fun 5k run to support Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra! The run will be held at Buffalo Park and the race is going to be at McMillan Mesa trail.

The annual Beethoven 5K is a run that celebrates classical music, nature, community, and the 76 years of joy and inspiration FSO has offered to all residents of Flagstaff and northern Arizona. Join us on June 13 for the Beethoven 5K and support Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra!

Why Beethoven?
The opening four-note motif of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is one of the most recognizable and iconic sequences in classical music. Beethoven's influence is immeasurable, and he left an enduring legacy that continues to inspire musicians and audiences. It is also known that Beethoven found inspiration in nature and often composed while walking in the countryside. He believed that spending time outdoors helped stimulate his creativity. We invite you to celebrate Beethoven, classical music, and FSO with us this June for the Beethoven 5K.

Run for the Arts—How YOU Make a Difference: The Beethoven 5K supports Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra’s mission to bring powerful, transformative music to our community.

Your participation helps fund music education for children, programs for new parents, and accessible world-class performances that connect us all.
