El Tour de Tucson

2024 Registration Open Soon! Join us for the El Tour de Tucson 5k Run/Walk -- enjoy all the festivities of El Tour's 3-day expo!  Perfect for the active family -- ride the Tour or walk or run the 5k -- either way, enjoy a Downtown party, discounted hotels, and more! Open to all ages and abilities, every finisher in this chip-timed 5K will receive a souvenir medallion as they cross the finish line.  You can walk the 3.1 mile Downtown course or you can race it, with overall winners and age-group winners receiving gift cards to Fleet Feet Tucson. 

The 5K will start at the El Tour start line at 7:30am and cruise through the wide neighborhood streets of Downtown Tucson.  The finish is back near the Convention Center, at El Parque de San Cosme, just two blocks from the start line and expo.

The Casino Del Sol Expo and Fiesta is a 3-day expo that leads up to the big day.  Enjoy exhibits, demos, celebrity signings, food trucks, live entertainment and the Dragoon Brewing Beer Garden!

Volunteers Always Welcome: Don't wanna' run but still want to be part of the fun?  Sign up to volunteer here!  You can be a course monitor, hand out water, or hand out finisher medals . . .
