SAR is coming back to the A . . . A-Mountain that is. We enjoyed the past two years at the Biosphere 2, but we’re staging this year’s edition of the popular TMC Get Moving Tucson Half Marathon and 4 Miler on the west side of Tucson’s Downtown district, at the super-cool Mercado Annex. Thanks to TMC and Rio Nuevo for helping fund this adventure!
Three Distances to Choose From:
* TMC A-Mountain Half Marathon: A beautiful 13.1 mile course that loops up and down A-Mountain and does an out-and-back on the speedy Santa Cruz Riverpath. The start and finish lines will most likely be on Cushing Street, at the Mercado Annex.
* TMC A-Mountain Four-Miler: Instead of a 5k this year, we think it would be fun to do a 4-miler up and down A-Mountain.
* Cox Free Family Mile and SAR Free FitKidz: this free family one mile will cover an out and back along Cushing and Grande!
Goodies include:
– a souvenir race coaster medal
– long-sleeve technical shirt
– age group awards and prize money details announced soon
– live music
– food and drinks and other fun post-race activities
This event is the third and final race of the three-race Gabe Zimmerman Triple Crown. The TMC A-Mountain Half-Marathon is part of the SAR Running Shop Grand Prix.

This race was challenging as it starts with a pretty steep hill of about 500 feet, after which is pretty much flat with very small rolling hills. I enjoyed it very much , felt i was able to keep a steady pace, however the hill makes your body tired for sure.
Race production was good, course was clear, there were water stations about every 2 miles plenty for a half marathon.
I liked the long sleeved t shirt ok, however i prefer darker colors vs neon ones.
We got the medal prior to the race, not sure if this is because they were running low on medals
Overall it was a great race, I would run this again in the future, hopefully weather will be cooler next years
