Saddle up and head to Old Tucson! The popular TMC Sunrise at Old Tucson Trail Run is back! Runners and walkers of all ages can choose either an 8-Mile Trail Run, a 4-Mile Trail Run or family-friendly 1-Mile Trail Walk/Run.
Join us on February 21, 2027 on the grounds of the newly reopened Old Tucson: passing through the gates of an old frontier town, visitors are transported back in time to the mythic Wild West. Dash down the streets of Hollywood’s most famous films and walk in the footsteps of movie legends.
Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just looking for a fun way to get some exercise, join us for an exciting morning at America’s most legendary western film set. Click here for the race registration and information pages. The first 700 registrants receive the colorful souvenir shirt, while anyone can purchase the add-on medallion for a mere $15 while supplies last.
The 4-mile trail race loops throughout the dusty streets, horse trails, and desert terrain of Old Tucson Studios. The new 8-miler includes a 4-mile loop through the desert trails of Gates Pass. The family-friendly 1-mile includes free entry for all 14-and-under. Cowboy costumes, children, and strollers are all welcome! See our menu pages for all details.
