Race Day: Parking, MSA Annex Discounts, Maps
We're excited about bringing the TMC A-Mountain Half-Marathon and 4-Miler back to the downtown area, at the Annex at the Mercado San Agustin.
Location
We are grateful to the Rio Nuevo District for supporting our efforts to highlight Downtown Tucson. The shops and eateries at the MSA Annex are housed beautifully inside modified shipping containers. The containers, designed by Tucson Architect Paul Weiner, are architecturally compelling and modern in Nature. The juxtaposition of the Spanish Colonial style Mercado San Agustin and new modern Annex together create a dynamic experience as seen in great cities around the world.

Parking
Please allow plenty of time to arrive on site and get situated for your race.
Mercado Parking Lots: In terms of on-site parking, the Mercado will charge $5 per vehicle for parking on their three nearby parking lots. Black Knights Security will handle this parking. Cash is faster and easier, but they take other standard forms of payment. Parking is available starting at 4:30 am.
Street parking: There is nearby street parking, but please be mindful of following all traffic laws: do not block driveways, do not park in red zones, do not park in permitted spots, and be mindful of all traffic and parking laws -- we don't want you to get in the way of the neighbors and we don't want you to get a ticket!
Lot Parking: Consider the lots on the Bonita/Commerce Loop, about a 10 minute walk from the race start. For additional Downtown parking resources, please see the interactive City of Tucson parking map here.
SunLink: SunLink service does not start until 8:00 am, but after the race the free SunLink may be a good resource to get back to the Downtown and UofA areas. Click here for details on the Streetcar.
