Crisp It Out Du, 5K and 2 mi

Lace up your running shoes and usher in the spring season at the inaugural Crisp It Out Du, 5K and 2 mi, taking place on March 1, 2026, in sunny Tucson, Arizona. This exciting event, hosted by Monsoon Multisport Events LLC, offers a fantastic opportunity to shake off winter chills and kickstart your active year with a scenic desert trail run. Choose your challenge from either a 5K (3.1 miles) or a 2-mile run, both winding through mostly flat desert trails near Andrada and Pantano High Schools, promising captivating desert scenery along a fun, and at times windy, course suitable for all ages and abilities. For those seeking an extra challenge, the event also features a duathlon option, comprising a 2-mile run, a 10-mile flat bike ride along Houghton Road, and a final 2-mile run.

The start and finish lines are conveniently located behind the parking lot at 12960 S Houghton Rd, providing easy access for participants and spectators alike. As you conquer the trails, expect typical race day conditions with comfortable highs around 73°F and lows around 46°F, and only a 3% chance of precipitation, making for ideal running weather. Every finisher will be rewarded with a commemorative medal, celebrating your achievement, with overall and age group awards presented after the race for those with a competitive spirit. While this is an inaugural event, participants can anticipate a well-organized experience designed to foster a vibrant community atmosphere.
