TMC Sunrise at Old Tucson is a 4-mile cross country trail run and a 1-mile run through the grounds of historic Old Tucson Studios and theme park.

Nestled in the cactus forest on the west side of the Tucson Mountains, Old Tucson Studios is a premier tourist destination near Saguaro National Park West. The 4-mile races are part of the Southern Arizona Roadrunners 2020 Running Shop Grand Prix, with points provided for placing.

The four-mile route includes dirt roads, horse trails, and the dusty Main Street of historic Old Tucson Studios. The 1-Miler is not very technical and loads of fun for walkers, joggers, and runners of all abilities!

Make a day of it and enjoy Tucson's finest tourist attractions as part of your race entry.
