The Everyone Runs' Catalina State Park 50-Year Trail Race and 5k Trail Run & Walk is a Tucson trail event held in September. It features a 9.3-mile race and a shorter 5k for runners and walkers. The longer race is for participants who can finish within three hours, while both distances are open to ages 5 to 100.

The 5k remains on the Nature and Bridal Trails, offering an easier option for walkers and newer trail runners. Registration includes a homemade Mexican breakfast, doughnuts, fruit and nuts, free race photos, and a choice of cotton or tech finisher shirt. Awards are given to the top three finishers overall and in five-year age groups. Overall winners will receive running shoes from Fleet Feet.
