The first-ever "Empire Ranch Run" will include a 10k Trail Run, a 5k Run/Walk, and a 1 mile family-friendly walk/run.

For the first-time ever, runners can run or walk on trails among the beautiful rolling grasslands near the famed Empire Ranch, in the high Sonoran Desert of the Las Cienegas National Conservation Area (LCNCA), located just 50 miles southeast of Tucson, and 10 miles north of Sonoita.

The Empire Ranch has never been used for a running event, so if you haven't been out here, you should grab the chance to join us at one of Arizona's most famous locations!

Produced as a joint partnership between the Empire Ranch Foundation and Run Tucson, the Empire Ranch Run is raising funds for the Empire Ranch Foundation to protect, restore and sustain the Empire Ranch historical buildings and landscape as an outstanding western heritage and education center.
