We want to thank a host of community partners for help with this event, including our title sponsor, Tucson Medical Center. Without TMC’s support, we could not produce such a large event. We urge all runners and walkers to patronize our sponsors and partners below.
Interested in being a sponsor? Contact Race Director Randy Accetta. It’s expensive to put on a race Downtown, and we’re looking for course sponsors, t-shirt sponsors, and post-event sponsors. Join the healthiest community in Arizona!
Proceeds from the event will fund local charities, including Cox Charities, Team Hoyt Arizona, Tucson Symphony Orchestra, BEYOND-Tucson Foundation, and the Southern Arizona Roadrunners.
