8 Weeks from the 2010 Tucson Marathon

The Tucson Marathon and Half Marathon coures will revert back to the route used in 2007 and 2008.  We received an incredible amount of feedback on the 2009 and many petitioned us to make the change.  While times were a bit slower in 2009, we hope the change brings about more Boston Marathon qualifying times.

The Holualoa Tucson Marathon point-to-point course starts in the historic town of Oracle north of Tucson and runs on a paved scenic route follows SH#77 along the majestic Santa Catalina Mountain range, dropping through the town of Catalina and finishing at the Coronado Middle School on E. Wilds Road, just north of Oro Valley. The race course closes at 1:30 p.m. so if you plan to walk, please understand you must be off the course by that time or be picked up by a "help" wagon.  Baby jogger and/or strollers ARE NOT allowed on the course at any time.

People LOVE the Tucson Marathon!

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for one of the best races I have experienced.  I have run 3 marathons (Melbourne Australia, PF Changs in Phoenix & New York), a half and hundreds of 10k and 5 k races (and a distance relay too). I heard the Tucson half would be fast and mostly downhill, but that was not the best part. The scenery is absolutely breath-taking. When the sun comes up you get a magical view of the mountains that almost brought me to tears.The orgnization was flawless. I parked per directions, caught the shuttle where I was meant to, was dropped right near the porta potties and had 30 minutes to start time. I could not believe that we had those outdoor heaters to stand under near the start and the gear busses were next to the start line and not miles away! I literally threw my gear into the bus, jumped under a heater for 10 minutes and stepped to the start line. Flawless!

Runner Comments

Just want to say thanks to you and your team for putting on a great marathon. I've run a number of point-to-point races, but usually they drop you off to freeze at the start. My friend and I were very relieved to have the option to stay on the bus while we waited. I will be sure to tell all of my running friends back here in CO that the Tucson Marathon is just as fast and well-organized as St. George!
