The Tucson Marathon Events have been run annually since 1995, growing from 800 participants to over 4000 throughout that period. The races have proven to be favorites for local runners as well as visitors, with representatives from 48 states and 5 foreign countries in its last edition. A little more than half of the runners in the Marathon field have been males, with the reverse true of the Half-Marathon. The combination of a fast course with moderate to cool race time temperatures makes these races a popular choice for runners searching for a personal best. The course is ranked consistently as a top 10 Boston qualifying course. Whether you’re looking for a fast competitive event, or simply a ‘leisurely’ 26.2-mile morning run, the Tucson Marathon races will be a good fit.
