Make Marana your place to run with #RUNMARANA, an annual endurance event series including four unique, fun, and challenging runs! The series starts in November with Turkey Trot, continues with Egg Nog Jog on New Year's Eve and Tortolita Traverse trail run in March, and ends in May with the Mother's Day 5K. Each event contains its own special elements like mascots, make and take crafts, and YETI raffle prizes! All RunMarana events are family-friendly recreational events.

NEW FOR THE 26/27 SEASON: Age and gender results!
