Registration Now Open!  We're still working out the details, but we're excited to put the Arizona Distance Classic on the 2025 race calendar of the Southern Arizona Roadrunners, the region's long-standing non-profit running club.

Described as one of the most scenic Arizona race events, the Arizona Distance Classic takes place in beautiful Oro Valley, just north of Tucson, Arizona. With beautiful views of the Catalina Mountains to the east, the Tortolita Mountains to the north, and the Tucson Mountains to the west, the AZDC is a perfect spring half-marathon for a vacation. 

The Arizona Distance Classic is a true celebration of the healthy active lifestyle.  We encourage runners and walkers of all shapes, sizes and abilities to participate. The breathtaking course is open and fully supported for 4 hours. Plentiful aid stations and cheer groups line the course through the foothills of the stunning Santa Catalina mountains. At the finish line celebration, every participant receives the ultimate huge finisher's medal and bountiful post race refreshments.
