The Experience
Experience Tucson’s newest and fastest race! Start in beautiful Oro Valley for the first 5 miles on N. Oracle Road then run entirely along the beautiful Chuck Huckleberry Loop, this all-paved course offers runners a smooth, traffic-free experience from start to finish. With a gentle 800-foot net drop, it feels flat as a pancake—yet runners will swear it’s even faster than Chicago. No parked cars, no street crossings, just open space and scenic desert views as you cruise toward your next Boston Qualifier or personal best. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your accomplishment with a free beer and soak in the sunshine and charm of Tucson, one of the Southwest’s most vibrant running destinations.
