Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just looking for a fun way to get some exercise, join us for an exciting morning at America's most legendary western film set. Passing through the gates of an old frontier town, you'll be transported back in time to the mythic Wild West.
Dash down the streets of Hollywood’s most famous films, and walk in the footsteps of movie legends like John Wayne, Sharon Stone, and other class film stars.
The 8-Mile race includes a 2-mile loop inside the Old Tucson grounds, then a 4-mile loop on the trails of Tucson Mountain Park, then a closing 2-mile loop inside Old Tucson, with a start and finish at the Bitter Creek and High Chaparral sets. Starts at 7:30 am.
Click here for the 4-mile route. The 4-mile trail run loops throughout the dusty streets, horse trails, and desert terrain of Old Tucson Studios. There will be two sections of the 4-Miler.
Click here for the 1-Mile. The Family 1-mile includes a $10 entry for all 14-and-under, with no shirt. Western costumes, children, and strollers are all welcome! This is meant to be a family-friendly social event with no prizes.
The first 750 participants receive a free commemorative shirt.
