2023 Details: We’re coming back to the A, A-Mountain that is. It looks like we can come back to Downtown, Tucson for our popular TMC A-Mountain Half-Marathon. We enjoyed the past two years at the Biosphere 2, but we’re working on staging the 2023 edition on the west side of Tucson’s Downtown district, at the super-cool Mercado Annex — see https://mercadodistrict.com/annex/.
For all race updates, please visit the race registration page here.
Three Distances to Choose From:
* TMC A-Mountain Half Marathon. We’ve crafted a beautiful 13.1 mile course that loops up and down A-Mountain and does an out-and-back on the speedy Santa Cruz Riverpath. The start and finish lines will most likely be on Cushing Street, at the Mercado Annex.
* TMC A-Mountain Four-Miler. Instead of a 5k this year, we think it would be fun to do a 4-miler up and down A-Mountain. What do you think? Email us at randy@runtucson.net for your thoughts on this shorter race distance!
* Cox Free Family Mile and SAR Free FitKidz: our free family one mile will cover an out and back along Cushing and Grande!
Goodies:
- a souvenir race coaster medal
- long-sleeve technical shirt
- age group awards and prize money details announced soon
- live music
- food and drinks and other fun post-race activities
