Whether you’re running in tribute, alongside a veteran, or as a veteran yourself, this event is a powerful way to show gratitude and community support.

Family members and supporters are encouraged to join at the regular registration rate and be part of this special day of recognition and celebration.

All participants will receive a custom finisher medal upon crossing the finish line—because every mile run in honor of our heroes deserves to be celebrated.

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.
