Spring Cross Country Classic 5K + FitKidz Mile

The Southern Arizona Roadrunners is celebrating 50 years with a special edition of the Spring Cross Country Classic 5K in 2026—a free race for everyone! Set on the scenic rolling trails of Lincoln Regional Park, this retro-inspired event brings runners back to the sport’s grassroots: no shirts, no medals, just pure cross-country fun. Teams of three can compete for recognition, and throwback attire is highly encouraged to capture the 1970s running vibe. With vintage tunes, community spirit, and a joyful nod to SAR’s legacy, it’s a celebration of running, friendship, and 50 years of Tucson’s running community. (Teams can be formed or changed through Friday, March 20, 12:00 p.m.)
