    Get ready to chase the sunshine—even if it refuses to show up!

    The Surf & Sun 5K splashes into Tucson at Michael Perry Park in Tucson at the beginning of February, bringing beach-day vibes to a decidedly not beach-day forecast. While the temperatures may be brisk, the scenery more than makes up for it. This beautiful course offers an incredible 360-degree view of the Rillito River (whether there's water flowing or not), giving runners a stunning backdrop of sparkling water and winter skies the entire way.

    Every participant will earn a custom finisher medal, a bright reminder that you braved the chill and conquered the course. We’ll also be presenting awards in all the usual 5-year age groups, celebrating fast finishes across every division.

    Bundle up, bring your best sunny attitude, and join us as we surf the winter waves at the Surf & Sun 5K!

    The Southern Arizona Roadrunners is celebrating 50 years with a special edition of the Spring Cross Country Classic 5K in 2026—a free race for everyone! Set on the scenic rolling trails of Lincoln Regional Park, this retro-inspired event brings runners back to the sport’s grassroots: no shirts, no medals, just pure cross-country fun. Teams of three can compete for recognition, and throwback attire is highly encouraged to capture the 1970s running vibe. With vintage tunes, community spirit, and a joyful nod to SAR’s legacy, it’s a celebration of running, friendship, and 50 years of Tucson’s running community.

    (Teams can be formed or changed through Friday, March 20, 12:00 p.m.)
