10K versenyek Oro Valley közelében

The Tucson Wicked Half Marathon, 10K, 5K, and Spooky Kids Sprint takes place at Brandi Fenton Memorial Park on East River Road in Tucson, Arizona. The event begins early, features four race distances, and limits participation to 600 runners. The half marathon is the longest distance with a four-hour limit. The 10K and 5K offer shorter routes for adults and older children. The Spooky Kids Sprint is a half-mile, untimed run for younger children, allowing families to combine racing with a Halloween activity. Costumes are encouraged, adding a unique atmosphere compared to typical road races. Children registered for the Spooky Sprint get a trick-or-treat bag at check-in and collect treats from volunteers along their course. StartLine Racing organizes this event, now in its ninth year. A virtual option is available for those unable to attend in person.

The Pecan Classic is a 5K and 10K run/walk in Sahuarita, Arizona, beginning at the Green Valley Pecan Company. This yearly Southern Arizona race coincides with the pecan harvest season, marked by yellowing leaves, drying husks, and typically more comfortable running weather. Participants can select either the 5K or 10K distance, accommodating those aiming for a 10K challenge and those preferring a shorter community run. The Southern Arizona Roadrunners, a non-profit organization that hosts local fitness events in the Tucson area, organizes the race. Proceeds from the Pecan Classic benefit a local non-profit.
