About the Salute to Veterans 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Tucson
The race is held at Danny Lopez Park and is dedicated to military veterans, with active duty members and veterans running at reduced or no cost. The courses are out-and-back routes on terrain that leans flat without being perfectly level. Self-serve water stations are spaced along the way, so runners who want to move fast may prefer to carry their own hydration.
Packet pickup is on race morning, with registration opening in the hour before the gun. No separate trip the day before is needed.
