💪 Exercise Motivation

Looking for motivation to exercise and stay fit? We've got you covered with the 2025 edition of Tucson's popular 3-race series. Build your fitness however you want, whether a 1-Mile, 5k, 4-Mile 10k, or Half-Marathon! Join us for the Gabe Zimmerman Triple Crown races, raising funds for local charities and celebrating the best of the Southwest!

🏅 Three Races, One Low Price

• May 31: TMC Meet Me Downtown 5k Night Run/Walk and Festival of Miles in the heart of dynamic Downtown Tucson.
• September 7: TMC Tucson 10k and 5k, staged at Pima Community College West with a route through the stunning saguaro-studded Painted Hills section of the Tucson Mountains.
• October 19: TMC A-Mountain Half Marathon and 4-Miler, staged near the Mercado Annex at the base of A-Mountain on the west side of Downtown Tucson.

🌟 In Memory of Gabe Zimmerman

The three-race series commemorates Gabe Zimmerman, a Tucson native who lost his life in the January 2011 mass shooting here in Tucson. Gabe and his dad, Ross, are shown in the photo on this page, during a hike in the Catalinas before he was killed. As we all know, running shows us the power within ourselves. If we can walk or run three miles on a hot summer night, the ups and downs of daily life are certainly manageable. If we can climb A-Mountain, we can rise to our other challenges.

🎈 Community Impact

Our goal is to celebrate Gabe and motivate the community to aspire to individual and collective greatness – to work alone and work with others towards those goals we find valuable... to celebrate living, community, and good will... to live with love, to live with passion to chase dreams.

🏥 Support and Sponsorship

The Gabe Zimmerman Triple Crown is authorized by Ross Zimmerman and the Zimmerman family. We at Run Tucson are honored to produce this series in Gabe's memory. The Gabe Zimmerman Triple Crown is supported by Tucson Medical Center, the title sponsor for each of the three races. We are grateful to TMC's ongoing efforts to promote health and wellness in Southern Arizona and beyond.

🤝 Thank You

We lean heavily on The Running Shop. Not only do they provide gift certificates as part of age-group awards, but they've become the brick-and-mortar home for our shirts and medals.

💖 Beneficiary Information
