Tucson

Tucson's running and cycling sit in the Sonoran Desert at 730m elevation with minimal rain and mild winters making year-round training viable. Runners tackle the Everyone Runs Veterans Day trail races in the foothills north of the city, while cyclists dominate here — the Lemmon TT climbs Mount Lemmon's 2500m elevation gain over 37km, and the 43rd El Tour de Tucson circuits 162km through desert and mountain terrain linking Saguaro National Park. The city's flat river valley allows base-building runs before heading into the surrounding ranges for serious climbing.
