2027 REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!

RUN INSPIRED BY THE BEAUTY OF THE PAINTED HILLS AND THE MAJESTY OF THE TUCSON MOUNTAINS, WITH PANORAMIC VIEWS OF THE TUCSON BASIN. THE 10K COURSE STARTS AT PIMA COLLEGE WEST AND CRUISES THE ICONIC ROLLING HILLS OF THE TUCSON MOUNTAINS NEAR SCENIC STARR PASS AND GATES PASS.

NOTE: IN 2027, WE'RE BACK TO OUR ORIGINAL 2-WEEKS-AFTER-SAGUARO MID-SEPTEMBER DATE. THIS GIVES YOU MORE TIME TO RECOVER FROM THE SCENIC BUT HILLY TMC SAGUARO NATIONAL PARK 8-MILER AND 5K [https://runsignup.com/Race/AZ/Tucson/SaguaroNationalParkLaborDay8Miler5k].



The 5k course is an out-and-back with more room for runners and walkers! Staging is in the shaded middle courtyard at Pima Community College, West Campus, providing an enjoyable space for pre-race and post-race activities of music, activities, and snacks & food trucks.
