About TMC Old Tucson Trail Run 8-MIle, 4 Mile, 1 Mile

Saddle up and head out to Old Tucson!  The popular TMC Sunrise at Old Tucson Trail Run is back!  Runners and walkers of all ages can choose either a 4-Mile Run or family-friendly 1-Mile Walk/Run, all entirely on the grounds of the newly reopened Old Tucson.

  • We're planning a new 8-Mile race too, with 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.

  • 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. 

  • Click here for the 1-Mile.  The Family 1-mile includes a $10 entry for all 14-and-under, with no shirt.  Cowboy costumes, children, and strollers are all welcome!  

 

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.

 

All participants receive a free commemorative long sleeve shirt and colorful souvenir race number.

 

Want more?  Mosey up to the cash bar for a post-race drink at the Bitter Creek set, pre-order a breakfast burrito for an additional $11.
