Description
Lace ‘em up! Run or walk the TMC Meet Me Downtown 5k in dynamic Downtown Tucson.
Bring the whole family for the free Raising Cane’s Festival of Miles.
Saturday night, June 1st
You can also sign up here for the 2024 Gabe Zimmerman Triple Crown, Tucson's popular 3-race series.
Enjoy a night on the town at Arizona's biggest running party in dynamic Downtown Tucson. Grab some friends and save some money-- teams of 5 or more receive $5 off per person!
This electrifying event has been the talk of T-town and the 520, with a bustling 5k route through the vibrant heart of Downtown Tucson. Whether you're rolling solo, hanging with friends, or making it a family night out, we've got you covered.
You can do the TMC 5k Night Run/Walk or the Raising Cane's Festival of Miles, including your choice of an Open Mile for all abilities, a Free High School Mile, or a Free FitKidz Mile for all kids 12 and under, and their families.
Speedsters can chase after prize money and age-group awards, while the rest of us can soak up the good vibes with live music from Legion of Mario, children's activities at the Children's Museum, food trucks, and the refreshing Pueblo Vida beer garden. And don't even think about hitting the hay early -- the sensational after-party at the historic Hotel Congress is not to be missed!
Start me up and check out the YouTube race video from Lahiru's World!
