Leashed pet friendly event

Due to the common start/finish line, there is no bag check for this event.

The course will take you through dedicated running trails (all asphalt and concrete), starting and ending at Brandi Fenton Park in Tucson - meaning no need for transportation before or after the race just to get back to your car! Please note - this is an open use trail system and does not close for our event.

The Spooky Sprint will be an untimed half mile kids run. All kids who register will receive a trick or treat bag at check in and will be able to trick or treat along the course from our volunteers. Tricks and treats are handed out by volunteers so that everyone will come away with equal amount of goodies. Parents who only want to accompany their children on the course do not need to register. Costumes are highly encouraged! All Spooky Sprint participants will receive a custom event finisher's medal and event dri-fit shirt.

This event will take place rain or shine. There are no refunds or transfers due to weather.

Scenic view of

Tucson (TOO-sawn), also known as the "Old Pueblo", is the second-largest city in the state of Arizona and the county seat of Pima County in the Sonoran Desert. It is at a higher elevation than nearby Phoenix and is correspondingly cooler. Although with half a million residents it is smaller than the capital city, its cultural life is just as vibrant.
