Set for its 12th annual running this fall under the wide-open skies of southern Arizona’s high desert country, the Sunrise Rotary Rising Sun Run takes runners on an out-and-back route that leads them on a — as the name suggests — rising run from the starting line to the half-way point, at the Ramsey Canyon Preserve.
Organized and hosted by the Sierra Vista Sunrise Rotary club, the race begins along South Saint Andrews Drive, between Huachuca Mountain Elementary School and Sierra Vista United Methodist Church. From there, you’ll head south along South Saint Andrews for the first mile of the race, until you hit Kachina Trail.
