Sabino Canyon Sunset Run

The Sabino Canyon Sunset Run takes place in Sabino Canyon in the Coronado National Forest near Tucson, Arizona on April 11, 2026. The event includes a longer point-to-point style course that uses the tram road and aid stations in the canyon and a short fun run and walk.

Registration is limited by distance and the event may sell out. Organizers state there are no refunds, substitutions, replacements, or wait lists because of those limits.

Runners in the 7.4 Mile event must maintain a sub-19 minute per mile pace. Participants must reach the turnaround at the top of the tram road within 70 minutes and the aid station at mile 5.1 within 95 minutes or they will be removed from the course for safety reasons. Walkers who cannot maintain that pace are asked to enter the 2 mile event.
