Roca Motion - founded in 2013 is dedicated to developing quality outdoor events! The founders, Brian and Melinda Nash have a love of Southern Arizona and the great outdoors.Melinda grew up in Willcox and still have family in the area. Roca Motion's premier event (Willcox Flyer - formely the Magic Circle) is held in honor of Melinda's older brother Matt. Matt was killed in 2008 at the age of 29 in Cupertino, CA. The weekend before his death, Matt participated in a crit race that he had set his sights on winning. He trained with focus and determination for months leading up to the event. That morning, just a week before his death, Matt crossed the finish line with a "last lap flyer" finish and won the first and only race of his life. The prize...a big rock!Roca, or Rock in Spanish, serves as a reminder to work with intensity and dedication but also with passion and joy!Our goal is to organize events that encourage people to get out there and help participants enjoy the beauty of Southern Arizona.
