Marathon & Marathon Relay Courses
The marathon runners line up at the spectacular and storied Biosphere 2 near Oracle, AZ running on some rolling hills until the course reaches Oracle Road / SR 77. Traveling along the majestic Santa Catalina Mountains, through the quaint towns of Catalina and then down into Oro Valley, the course brings the runners along the Canada del Oro River Bike Path to the new finish at Pima Community College Northwest Campus. For those who do not want to tackle the longer distances, the Marathon Relay requires four runners, each running a proportionate leg of the marathon course. (60 Team Limit)

Half Marathon Course
The Half Marathon now starts at Golder Ranch Fire Administration Building (former finish) and follows the second half of the marathon course into Oro Valley and along The Loop bike path. Both the Full and Half Marathon events are USA Track & Field certified and all results are sent directly to Boston.

50K Ultra Course
The 50 kilometer course is now USATF Certified and follows the Marathon course with a new addition extending to Ted Walker Park and back on The Loop bike path.
