Lot Parking: Consider the lots on the Bonita/Commerce Loop, about a 10 minute walk from the race start. Click here for a map of Downtown Tucson parking lots.

Post-race through November
Shirts and medals of registrants who cannot make race weekend will be available at The Running Shop, 3055 North Campbell through the end of November. T-shirt sizing first come, first served.
Please remember that it is difficult for us to manage individual requests for souvenir management; thus, we cannot mail race souvenirs or promise the ability to hold items for a participant.
We’re super grateful to Lucas Tyler and the whole crew at The Running Shop for all the help with this event.
