• Description: Sabino Canyon is undeniably perfect and the quintessential Tucson running location. The SAR Sabino Canyon Sunset Run has one goal: to create a race worthy of the Canyon. The race, designed to capitalize on the majestic nature of Sabino provides a unique opportunity to experience the challenges of a great race in a paradoxically tranquil environment. This unique 6.4 mile event winds its way into (and out of) Sabino Canyon.
  
  The out and back 6.4 mile paved course along Sabino Creek crosses nine bridges and provides the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the Catalina Mountains as the sun sets against them. The course is uphill on the way into the canyon and downhill on the way back, with aid stations at miles 1.6, 3.2 (turn-around point), and 4.8.
  
  Race starts at 5:30PM. Sunset is at 6:27 PM. Aid stations and finish line will be picked up 90 minutes after the start. If you plan to be out there longer be aware you'll be on your own. Carry a flashlight!
