The race day environment promises a serene and focused atmosphere. As runners step out onto the streets at 7:20 am for the five-kilometer run/walk, they'll be greeted by an array of local businesses and enthusiastic spectators lining the route. The landscape is characterized by its natural beauty; the city's historic buildings and diverse neighborhoods create a unique backdrop as participants navigate through Tucson’s urban spaces.
Since 1983, El Tour de Tucson has been more than just a race—it's a tradition that supports charitable causes. Over the years, thousands of cyclists have participated in raising funds for nonprofit organizations, contributing to over $138 million raised since its inception. This year marks another significant milestone as the event continues to grow and strengthen community ties.
The 5K Run/Walk course will start from the newly renovated Tucson Convention Center, with the finish line also located there. The route is designed to provide a balanced mix of firm streets and slightly soft terrain, ensuring that participants can enjoy their experience without any major challenges. Alongside runners, cyclists take on three distinct distances: 102 miles (Platinum), Metric Century at 62 miles, and Half Metric Century at 32 miles.
The race day weather in Tucson is typically mild, with an average temperature of around 16.6°C, making it comfortable for athletes to perform their best. Participants are advised to bring layers as the temperatures can fluctuate slightly throughout the event. With low UV levels indicating a moderate sun exposure risk and firm trail conditions expected, runners should prepare accordingly.
To register, visit https://runsignup.com/Race/AZ/Tucson/ElTourdeTucson before the deadline. Bib pickup is available on Thursday and Friday at the Tucson Convention Center. All routes start from this location for convenient access. Participants must be 18 years or older to participate in individual categories; tandems are also welcome but have a higher registration fee.
On race day, thousands of cyclists and their supporters will converge on downtown Tucson for an unforgettable celebration. Mark your calendars for November 21, 2026, as El Tour de Tucson returns with its usual flair and community spirit.

Scenic view of

Tucson (TOO-sawn), also known as the "Old Pueblo", is the second-largest city in the state of Arizona and the county seat of Pima County in the Sonoran Desert. It is at a higher elevation than nearby Phoenix and is correspondingly cooler. Although with half a million residents it is smaller than the capital city, its cultural life is just as vibrant.
