Health and welfare of all: if you not feeling well in any way, we ask that you not come to the race.  

Start times: 7:15am start time for the half marathon, 7:25am for the 5k. 

Timing: the half and 5k will be chip timed, which will be attached to the back of your race bib.  If you do not wear your bib, you will not have a race finishing time and will not be eligible for finisher awards.  Do not bend the timing chip. Your time starts and finishes when you cross the start/finish line. Replacement bibs are $5.  Your final time and all awards will be based on the chip time.  Overall 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for the half and 5k will be determined by gun time, which is the official time per USATF rules.  

Overall male and female winners will be removed from age group awards.  

Bag Drop: for security reasons, we will not have a bag drop area.  No need to worry, as your parking is right near the start/finish.

Your course:  so that none of you lose your way on our course, here’s the very simple low-down on where you’re headed (map is posted on everyoneruns.net front page):

The half and 5k start and finish at the Old Tucson main parking lot.  Our course is very simple and completely lined with orange cones for your safety and easy direction.  Just follow the cones, which you must stay within, or you will automatically be disqualified.  On Kinney Rd. and Mile Wide you will be running in the left lane (southbound for vehicles).  On McCain Loop, you will be running in the right lane (southbound for vehicles).  DO NOT RUN OR CROSS INTO THE LANE THAT IS FOR VEHICLE TRAFFIC ONLY!!!!

Half marathon: this event is for runners only and run walkers only.  NO walkers permitted.  Your course travels north on Kinney Rd, past the AZ Desert Museum (you are now on Mile Wide Rd), turns around just east of Sandario Rd, heading back to McCain Loop Rd., where you will turn right and run in the right lane.  McCain Loop ends at Kinney Rd, where you will turn right and head directly back to your finish at Old Tucson.  CUT-OFF TIME IS 10:45am (3:30 time limit)

5k: your start is the same as the half marathon and runs north on Kinney Rd. for 1.55 miles to your turnaround and then straight back to the start/finish line at Old Tucson.

BOTH courses are USA track and Field certified courses for exact measurement!

Several water Stations will be spaced  throughout the course.

The half marathon will have a “re-fueling station” at the turnaround with bananas, water, and Sport Beans, and a medic rotating in the area.  

Post-race:  awards, breakfast, fun with friends!!!

Shirts: race shirts will be available only after the race. No size switching until after the race.

Overall winners will be removed from age-group qualification.
Our raffle winners will be announced at the race and you can collect your prize at the shirt tent.
