Get back at it and join us for the 17th Annual TMC Meet Me Downtown 5K Run/Walk and Festival of Miles

Southern Arizona’s biggest event returns to its customary nighttime party roots in vibrant Downtown Tucson, on Saturday night, May 27th, 2023.  Enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend with a dynamic Downtown running party.

Adults will love the beer garden, live music, food trucks, and Hotel Congress after-party.

Families will enjoy the Cirque Roots show, the roaming magician, jumping castles, free FitKidz mile, free High School mile, and free entry to the Children’s Museum.

Speedsters and age-groupers will love the prize money, age group gift certificates from the Running Shop, and the RRCA West Regional Championship age-group medals.
Come one, come all.
