Race Information
Located on the high desert plain of southeast Arizona, Sierra Vista offers the ideal venue to stage a beautiful and challenging Half Marathon and 5K event. Starting at 4,500 feet and with the Huachuca mountains as their background, the two running courses wind through country neighborhoods with the half marathon continuing up to the turnaround at the entrance to the beautiful Ramsey Canyon Preserve at 5200’ of elevation. The return to the half marathon finish line affords beautiful vistas of the San Pedro River valley to the end of the run. Both courses are certified by USA Track & Field.
