Spring Cross Country Classic 5K + FitKidz Mile
The Spring Cross Country Classic is a community cross-country event held at Lincoln Park, 4325 S Pantano Rd, Tucson, AZ. Presented by the Southern Arizona Roadrunners as a special edition celebrating the club’s 50th anniversary, the event is offered free of charge to participants.
Distances
- 5K cross-country race on natural trails
- FitKidz mile for youth participants
The event uses rolling, natural trails and uneven terrain. The format nods to running’s earlier days with a retro theme: no shirts and no medals, encouragement of throwback attire, vintage music, and teams of three competing for recognition. Food is part of the gathering with a complimentary pancake breakfast provided after the races.
Participants should be aware that the course runs over natural surfaces and may include loose footing, rocks, ruts, and other trail hazards; extra caution and appropriate footwear are advisable. The event emphasizes community interaction and a low-frills celebration of local running, combining youth and adult distances on the same park trails.
