Tucson's Fastest 5k: Historically the Tucson 5000 is one of the fastest 5Ks in the West! This pancake-flat, fast USATF certified course provides the perfect opportunity for a 5K PR or run your first 5K on a course that is beginner friendly. This race has been a Tucson staple for over 20 years with 20+ of the current Arizona age records for the 5k being set at the Tucson 5000!
FitKidz Mile: Will be on a flat out and back course giving a great opportunity for you to see your kids twice and cheer on others as pass one another!

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.
