TMC Saguaro National Park Labor Day 8-Miler/5k
This event, produced by the Southern Arizona Roadrunners, takes place at Saguaro National Park East in Tucson, Arizona on 09/07/2026. Race entry includes a day pass into Saguaro National Park; registrants who provide a National Park Service number can reduce the registration cost by $5 under the 2026 pricing arrangement.
The event is staged on a rolling paved course through the cactus forest of the Rincon Mountains with views of saguaro, prickly pears, and ocotillos, and occasional wildlife. The 8 mile course is a clockwise loop with rolling hills and views of the Rincon Mountains, the Catalina Mountains, and the Tucson basin. The 5k is an out-and-back that covers the last portion of the 8 mile course.
