About the Event

September 10 Update:   Registration is now open for the 2026 edition, at early-bird pricing through December 31, 2025.
Thanks to all of you who did the 2025 edition of the TMC Saguaro National Park Race.  Click here for the post-race race report email sent to all participants. All remaining shirts have been brought to the Running Shop (3055 N Campbell Ave, Tucson) for pick up on a first-come, first-served basis through the end of September.
 
A note on 2026 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 annual pass online here.

About Tucson

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.
