Event Details

The year 2007 marks the third annual running of the TMC Fleet Feet Old Spanish Trail Half-Marathon, run in the shadow of Tucson's Rincon Mountains in the southern end of the state, near Saguaro National Park. Described by race organizers as "absolutely beautiful," this USATF-certified course takes runners on a course from the Rincon Valley Farmer's Market to the entrance of Colossal Cave, a mountain park on the National Register of Historic Places. From there (the half marathon half-way point), the course turns around to take participants back along the Old Spanish Trail road to the finish line at the farmer's market.

This fast and flat out-and-back course is accompanied by on-course music, cheerleaders and plenty of volunteers to encourage you on. Following the morning's races (the event also includes a 5K and a 1-mile kids' fun run) is a post-race festival, with refreshments and drinks for the runners and enterainment for participants and spectators alike.

Dry, mild weather is the norm in the Tucson area in the early fall months, with November temperatures that sometimes vary quite widely, averaging between 39°F and 74°F. Rainfall is almost nonexistent, averaging only just over half an inch for the month.
