Thanksgiving XC Classic 5K & 1.5 Mile Fun Run/Walk

This event takes place at Reid Park (900 S Randolph Way, Tucson, AZ) on Thanksgiving. The course is a European style cross country layout that includes hay bales and runs mostly on grass and dirt with a short section of asphalt.

The event offers two distances:

  • 5K
  • 1.5 Mile

The 5K is run as separate races for women and men. Participants who enter the opposite gender race may experience a delay of up to 48 hours for posted results and are not eligible for awards. The 5K course consists of two loops and the 1.5 Mile course is one loop. The course starts near Ramada #10 at the southwest corner of Reid Park at 22nd Street and Country Club Road.

Strollers are welcome; the course is hilly and mostly on grass and dirt. Lanes are provided so strollers can bypass the hay bales. Dogs are not allowed for the safety of participants.

The 5K is part of The Running Shop SAR Grand Prix. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
