A NOTE ON 2025 PRICING: YOUR RACE ENTRY INCLUDES AN ENTRANCE PASS TO THE SAGUARO NATIONAL PARK. THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE HAS CHANGED THEIR EVENT PRICING MODEL, SO THE SOUTHERN ARIZONA ROADRUNNERS IS REQUIRED TO PAY $15 PER PARTICIPANT. SAR IS COMMITTED TO PAYING SOME OF THAT COST, BUT YOU CAN SAVE $5 ON YOUR REGISTRATION BY SUBMITTING YOUR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NUMBER AT THE APPROPRIATE SPOT IN THE REGISTRATION PROCESS. YOU CAN PURCHASE AN NPS PASS ONLINE HERE.
