Partial FAQ
Unfortunately, pets are now allowed on the course. The staging area will follow all City of Tucson laws regarding dogs and other animals.
Headphones and earbuds are allowed -- however, prize money will not be awarded to athletes wearing headphones or earbuds, as USATF considers them illegal aid.
Unfortunately, we do not have a gear check, so you will need to leave your additional clothing items at your car of with a non-running friend.
