About the Chilly Willy 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Tucson
The course is mostly flat with just enough gentle roll to keep it honest. It is the kind of terrain where you can actually push a pace without worrying much about what is underfoot. Several distance options mean the field is a mix of goals, and the course is open long enough that walkers and slower runners can finish comfortably.
Packet pickup runs on race morning starting about an hour before the gun, so there is no separate trip the day before. The race record notes that an earlier pickup option may be added, worth checking closer to the date if you prefer to arrive without anything to collect.

The Chilly Willy 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Tucson has been held every year since at least 2026. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
