Meet Me Downtown Race Summary

Thank you to all the race registrants, sponsors, partners, and spectators!  Over 1900 registered—way beyond our expectations!  Not only did we have a ton of people, but we had some speedsters—congratulations to race winner Ian Burrell.  In an interesting coincidence, he ran 14:37.9 and last year. . .

TMC Meet Me Downtown: Off the Charts!

What a great night . . . thanks to everyone who came out and ran the TMC Meet Me Downtown Night Run tonight.  That was awesome!  Of course, it couldn’t be done without the 50 or so volunteers who helped at registration, water, set-up, break-down—and it couldn’t be done without sponsors and partners—and it couldn’t be done without participants . . . we are humbled by the showing tonight! 

A special thank you to Greg Wenneborg and the Pima Community College track team who managed the timing:over 1,700 official finishers and another 200 - 300 non-competitive finishers.  If you won an age-group award, head to the Running Shop later this week for your prize.

And yes, we will open registration for the Gabe Zimmerman Triple Crown again after the race, so that all participants in Meet Me Downtown have an opportunity to participate in the inaugural Triple Crown series.  Thanks to Ross and the Zimmerman family for everything!  Give us a few days, then check the SAR site for next steps . . . .

Summer all-comer track meets and cross country meets start soon

Attached is the schedule for summer all-comer track meets and open cross country runs.  All ages, all speeds, all abilities are welcome. Thanks to former SAR Board member Anna Grube, Catalina High School, and the City Parks and Rec for continuing to produce this great Tucson tradition!

MMM Rock & Stroll Race Report – April 13, 2010
Steve Outridge, SAR Board Member

Downtown Tucson has never seen a party like this! Just over 1250 of our closest friends and neighbors came out and walked or ran at the SAR Meet Me at Maynard’s one year anniversary Rock & Stroll event. A fantastic time was had by all! Participants were treated to a free event that included the history and charm of downtown, 14 bands, a full cheerleader team on the Rattlesnake bridge, nuts, pedometers, chewy granola bars, amazing restaurant discounts, a huge Vendor Fair at Maynard’s Market, and much, much more….
