    EVENT: 14th Annual RISING SUN RUN

    DESCRIPTION: Located on the high desert plain of southeast Arizona, Sierra Vista offers the ideal venue to stage a beautiful and challenging Half Marathon and 5K event with a 1M fun Run/Walk. Starting at 4,500 feet and with the Huachuca mountains as their background, the courses wind through country neighborhoods with the half marathon continuing up to its turnaround at the entrance to the beautiful Ramsey Canyon Preserve at 5500’ of elevation. The return to the half marathon finish line affords beautiful vistas of the San Pedro River valley to the end of the run. Both courses are USA Track & Field certified.

    As mentioned above, the half marathon course presents a challenge to even the experienced half marathoner due to the altitude and the significant elevation change. As a half marathon runner, you need to plan on completing your race in 3 hours or less.

    Course Maps can be found under the Race Info tab above.

    There are 5 first aid and water stations along the half marathon course with portable toilets available at race headquarters (6) and midway through the half marathon course (2). There are no portable toilet facilities on the 5K course though there is a first aid and water station at the 5K turnaround.

    The Rising Sun Run is a great race for great causes as all event proceeds go to provide vocational scholarships for Buena high school graduates and Cochise College incoming freshmen, scholarships for Rotary youth leadership and professional skills development programs, and funding for Rotary service projects for our non-profit organizations.

    Race starting times will be as follows:

    Half Marathon - 7:30am, 5K – 8:30am, 1M Run/Walk - 8:45am

    Chip timing provided by “On Your Left Fitness and Timing." Official timing will end at 10:30am ~ half marathoners will need to complete their run within 3 hours or less. The event courses will close at 11:00am.

    AWARDS CEREMONY: A great finish line experience is planned with music and post-run recovery snacks and drinks. The awarding of medals will highlight the ceremonies with medals being awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers, in both race categories, for both men and women. Age groups are:

    16 and below, 17-25, 26-35, 36-45, 46-55, 56-65, 66 and above.

    Half Marathon: 1st place - $150, 2nd Place - $100, 3rd Place - $50

    Also, all half marathon finishers will receive a beautiful and unique commemorative “spinner” medal. All 5K finishers will receive a participant ribbon. Finally, all runners are guaranteed, if to receive a cool towel at the finish line and a race day swag bag filled with great swag!
