Route Descriptions
EIGHT MILER: The 8-MILER will do the first two miles inside the Old Tucson grounds, then right after the 2-mile mark the 8-miler racers will leave the grounds of Old Tucson Studios and head into the Tucson Mountain Park for a 4-mile loop.
Then right near the 6-mile mark you'll come back into the grounds of Old Tucson and hop onto a single track that winds south for about a half-mile. Coming off the single track, you'll will do an inner-loop on jeep trails.
After about 300 yards on a single track, you'll pop out by the Rodeo Grounds, then finish with one more loop of Main Street and Boot Hill.
Your finish will be a nice gradual downhill past the High Chaparral set, ending at the Bitter Creek stage.
The route will be marked with white flour arrows and flagging. All distances are approximate. There will be a water station at approximately the 1-mile mark and 5-mile mark.
