The event takes place on Sunday, October 4, 2026 at Catalina State Park in Tucson, Arizona. The start and finish are located in front of the park’s main parking lot at the end of the main road. Runners begin on a short section of park road, enter the Nature Trail counterclockwise, then continue to the Bridal Trail. The 9.3 mile course proceeds to the 50 Year Trail for a 2.75 mile out-and-back before returning to Bridal and the park road to the finish. The 5K follows the Nature Trail and an out-and-back on the Bridal Trail.
Participants are asked to carry their own water. Water will be available before the Nature Trail and bottled water will be available prior to the Birding Trail; bottled water taken must be carried and not discarded on course. Sections of the course are narrow and may have trail traffic; course monitors will be present and rocks are placed to mark the correct route.
There is a one-day park entry pass fee when purchased through the event; alternative park fees apply at park entry. Packet pickup occurs at local Fleet Feet locations. Awards include overall and five-year age group prizes for male and female finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
