The race is staged on Sixth Avenue, in the heart of Downtown Tucson.  The best address to use is the Children's Museum:  200 South Sixth Avenue, between 12th Street and 13th Street

Downtown Partnership: For more information on parking or other things to do Downtown, please visit the Downtown Partnership website here.

Directions from 1-10 from both north and south: Take the Congress exit and go east into Downtown about a half-mile towards Stone or Sixth Avenue.  Park on nearby city streets or in the Downtown lots.

Directions from Oro Valley and points north: Take Oracle all the way to Downtown

Coming from Tucson's Eastside? Remember that the 22nd Street Overpass between the Reid Park area and Downtown is closed due to ongoing construction.  Perhaps use Broadway as the alternative.

Coming from Tucson's southside? Remember that Fifth Avenue, Sixth Avenue, and Seventh Avenue will all be closed for the race from 22nd Street northwards.

Alternative Transportation: SunLink, SunTrans, bike riding, and more! Just remember, the race route will be closed to traffic all evening

Parking: There are over 13,000 parking spaces nearby, so There will be plenty of Downtown street parking and City lot parking, but be mindful of Park Tucson meters and Saturday night fees.  See the map below or Park Tucson's website here for details on Downtown parking.

Please Be Smart: Do not block driveways, do not park in red zones, do not park in permitted spots, and be mindful of all traffic and parking laws -- we don't want you to get in the way of the neighbors and we don't want you to get a ticket!

Armory Park: Armory Park is in the midst of renovation so we won't be able to use it. The start and finish line will stay the same. However, all of our race staging will be on the east side of Sixth Avenue, between 12th street on the north and 13th Street on the south. The map below was hand-made, but it works to show the general start/finish layout.

Big Changes From Past Years:

1) Bathrooms will be on the south side of the Children's Museum

2) Packet pickup and registration will be on the north grass field of the Children's Museum

3) Pueblo Vida Beer Garden will be on the left as you face the Children's Museum.
