    Oro Valley Join us in Oro Valley, A World Class Town
    Close to Everything. A World Apart.

    Oro Valley is an amazing host for our event. Oro Valley is a planned community of 41,011 cradled in the shadows of the magnificent Santa Catalina Mountains with hiking trails through Catalina State Park, hiking and bicycle trails throughout the Town, world class golf courses, horseback riding and a long valued cultural tradition.

    The Town has been given many accolades through the years, and is proud to be part of the lists below:

    Best Places to Live in America.

    Best Towns for Families.

    Best Places in America to Live and Launch a Small Business.

    Playful City USA.

    The town is located in the high Sonoran Desert with average high temperatures of 83.4 degrees and average lows of 53.8 degrees and breathtaking beauty.

    Located just miles north of the Tucson city limits, services like the University of Arizona and Tucson International Airport are just steps away.

    Here is an overview of this World Class Town.

    Thank you!
    I want to thank all of our participants, volunteers, partners and the Town of Oro Valley for helping us build a world class event in this world class town.

    This has truly become a boutique event that our participants really appreciate. We have increased our registration cap a bit this year. Come join us, just don't wait as we will sell out.

    Get Fit. Stay Fit. Live Fit.
