5K

Experience the exhilaration of completing the enjoyable 5k race distance in the foothills of the gorgeous Santa Catalina Mountains in Oro Valley, Arizona, just north of Tucson.

The 5K allows runners and walkers to enjoy the Arizona Distance Classic's scenic race course and celebration of the healthy, active lifestyle by participating in a 3.1-mile race along Innovation Park Drive and Rancho Vistoso Boulevard on an out and back course. The gently rolling hills of the first leg of the Half Marathon offer the challenging yet enjoyable opportunity to put feet to street and be part of the action. The return leg of the 5K is delightfully downhill and offers, arguably, the most amazing Southwestern race event views available. The 5K course aid stations and ample opportunities for motivation and celebration from start to finish.
