An informal group who runs 5ks to half marathons every other weekend or so down in the Elgin/Sonoita/Patagonia area.  Events are posted on the Facebook page.

Performance Endurance is for athletes who are seeking expert guidance to reach their next running goal, whether it be competing in their 100th marathon, doing their first 5K, strengthening the weak leg of a tri, reaching a new fitness benchmark, or getting back on the road safely after an injury or surgery.

Along with access to an experienced, professional running coach, members benefit from our affiliation with Performance Fitness, a fully-equipped fitness gym. Our certified fitness professionals are available to assist you with specific cross training and nutritional needs. We can also consult you on shoe fittings, injury prevention and recovery. We meet a few evenings a week at the gym (located at Swan/Fort Lowell, behind McMahons) before heading outdoors to run at nearby parks, tracks and trails, then back to the gym for strength training and core work. Workouts are planned with local Tucson races in mind and include threshold training, VO2 max, and long distance group runs. Members receive a weekly email with educational and motivational tips, and the opportunity to participate in free monthly clinics and workshops. All for just $40/month for members of Performance Fitness ($60 for non members).

This is a group for new-ish (and not so new) runners who enjoy cruising at casual paces (usually 10-13min/mi), covering distances between 3-13 miles. We also participate in many local races. Check out our calendar at www.meetup.com/teamriot.

The Workout Group, Building a Running Community Since 1997
For over 23 years, the Workout Group has been meeting every Tuesday and Thursday evenings.  Unique in Tucson, we’re a drop-in group where you can train for a week or train for a decade—either way, we’ll help you get ready for whatever’s on your list, whether it’s your first race or the Olympic Trials.  But most importantly, WOG develops friendships. 

With an email listserv, monthly picnics, social runs, social gatherings, and more marriages than you can shake a stick at, WOG is the place to come to be part of running in Tucson.  If you’re into leg speed, we’ve got you covered: WOG has produced Olympic Trials runners, Boston qualifiers, SAR Grand Prix Champions and age-group winners, and podium finishers at every distance from the mile to the 100-miler.

The Workout Group is led by Tia Accetta (M.A., 2:48 marathoner, certified RRCA Coach) and Randy Accetta (Ph.D., former 2:19 marathoner, and the national Director of Coaching Education for the the Road Runners Club of America).  Workout Group coaches include RRCA-certifed coaches Tim Bentley, Michelle Hawk, Doreen Davis, Dave Odom, and Gina Nelson, with additional help from the gang of Georgia Pattison and Sandy Crusa.  Unofficial WOG photographer is the renowned Goatographer. Weekend long runs with our friends at ComeRun are on trail and road routes throughout the region.  Part of the Run Tucson brand, WOG helps produces the region’s high profile races, such as the TMC Meet Me Downtown 5k, the Biosphere2 5k, and the Grand Canyon Trail Half Marathon.

When and Where:
Tuesday Nights, 6:00 pm at the Rillito Fields.  Starting in February 2020 join us at our new location at the Rillito Fields, at 4502 N First Ave.  We run on the newly-created 1/3 mile dirt-path loop and the nearby fields and The Loop River Path.  This location is 4.5 miles from the UA.  Plenty of free parking in the lots adjacent to First Avenue, just south of River Road.

Thursday nights, 6:00 pm at the Annex Fields at Reid Park.  Workouts take place on the multi-use path and the nearby grass fields. (This location is 3.6 miles from the UA.  From Broadway, take Country Club south 6/10 of a mile, turn into the park at Concert Way, then turn left and right in the parking lots and look for the runners by the baseball fields.)

(Sadly, after 22 years we were told by the City of Tucson Parks and Rec that we could no longer run on the dirt warning track of the Annex Fields.  Fortunately, Pima County Parks and Rec has come to the rescue and has enabled Run Tucson and Cox Charities to help fund a new running surface at the Rillito Fields.)

Questions? Email or call Randy at 520-991-0733 or email or call Tia at 520-891-4369.  See www.runtucson.net or www.facebook.com/TheWorkoutGroup for updates.
