Running Hotspots
- Catalina State Park
On Tucson’s NW side at the base of the Catalina Mountains, Catalina State Park offers fairly flat road running and some fantastic trail options.
- Old Spanish Trail
This 5 mile eastside multi-use path snakes its way from Broadway to Saguaro National Park East.
- Reid Park
Centrally located park with a lighted, 3-mile multi-use path and a popular 800 meter (half mile) dirt track.
- Rillito River Path
Following the banks of the mighty Rillito River (almost always dry), the Rillito River Path offers a 10-mile uninterrupted multi-use path.
- Sabino Canyon
One of Arizona’s most scenic running spots, Sabino Canyon offers both road and trail running options.
- Saguaro National Park East
This is the site of SAR’s big Labor Day 8 Mile Run. Winding through a forest of saguaros, this 8 mile rollercoaster (lots o’ hills!) loop is not to be missed. Many great trail options as well.
