We’re running it back! We’re excited to announce that the TMC Arizona Distance Classic is back on the 2026 race calendar of the Southern Arizona Roadrunners, the region’s long-standing non-profit running club. We invite you to join us in one of the most scenic celebrations of the Healthy Active Lifestyle in the West. Run or walk the TMC Arizona Distance Classic Half Marathon, Quarter Marathon or 5K.
The TMC Arizona Distance Classic, described as the most scenic Arizona race event of the year, takes place just north of Tucson in Oro Valley, March 8, 2026, drawing runners and walkers locally and from around the country.
The TMC Arizona Distance Classic is a true Celebration of the Healthy Active Lifestyle. We encourage runners and walkers of all shapes, sizes and abilities to participate. The breathtaking course is open and fully supported for three and a half hours. Plentiful aid stations and cheer groups line the course through the foothills of the stunning Santa Catalina Mountains. At the finish line celebration, every participant receives the ultimate huge souvenir finisher’s medal and bountiful post-race refreshments.
