Organiser's Description

EVENT: 11th Annual RISING SUN RUN
DESCRIPTION: Located on the high desert plain of southeast Arizona, Sierra Vista offers the ideal venue to stage a beautiful and challenging Half Marathon and 5K event with a 1M fun Run/Walk. Starting at 4,500 feet and with the Huachuca mountains as their background, the courses wind through country neighborhoods with the half marathon continuing up to the half marathon turnaround at the entrance to the beautiful Ramsey Canyon Preserve at 5500โ€™ of elevation. The return to the half marathon finish line affords beautiful vistas of the San Pedro River valley to the end of the run. Both courses are USA Track & Field certified.
Great races for great causes as all event proceeds go to provide Rotary youth vocational scholarships for graduating high school seniors, Rotary youth leadership and professional skills development programs, and funding for Rotary service projects to non-profit organizations.ย 
The City of Sierra Vista is a major sponsor of the Rising Sun Run with the RSR being a key event of their Sports Tourism Initiative; an Initiative to expand and bring sporting events to Sierra Vista from across Arizona.
The Rising Sun Run will follow all Sierra Vista covid-19 protocols that are in effect as of race day.ย
