Part run, part celebration, part delightful chaos. The Big Gay 5K starts and finishes at Armory Park in downtown Tucson, taking participants through the colorful, historic streets of Barrio Viejo before returning for a lively finish festival. Walk, run, strut, or sparkle your way across the finish line, then stay for music, drinks, entertainment, and an extended after-party in the park.

Learn more about the host city, Tucson.
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.
