Arizona consumers are being warned about false and misleading advertising relating to 5K races known as the “Skull Run,” “Dragons & Skulls Run,” or “Dragon, Zombies, Skulls Run.”
Evidence has been uncovered by authorities that indicate that these “fantasy race events,” three of which are scheduled for October in Tucson, Chandler, and Mesa, are organized by the same individuals who sold tickets for the recent “Crab and Lobster Feast” that was supposed to occur on September 2nd in Phoenix. Consumers who bought tickets for that event showed up to find an empty parking lot on the day of the event.
Arizona authorities are working to stop false advertising related to these and other events and is issuing this advisory to ensure that additional Arizona consumers are not deceived. Consumers who bought tickets to these races and feel they were deceived should file complaints with the Attorney General’s Office.
