TUCSON NAMED ONE OF AMERICA'S
TOP 8 TRAIL RUNNING TOWNS
TUCSON, Ariz. (August 25, 2008). Tucson has been named to TrailRunner magazine's
list of the top 8 trail running towns in America.
Tucson's "trail runner town"
ranking stems from the Old Pueblo's abundant trail running options, which
include Catalina State Park, the Tucson Mountains, Mt. Lemmon, Sabino Canyon
and Saguaro National Park.
TrailRunner's October issue
selects Tucson for the city's desert scenery, year-round mild temperatures, easy
access to cooler elevations, and demanding terrain. The article also mentions local
runners Pam Reed - known for setting the women's course record in Death Valley's
Badwater Ultramarathon - and Randy Accetta, president of the Southern Arizona
Roadrunners.
The Metropolitan Tucson Convention & Visitors
Bureau is an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the
Tucson area as a convention, group tour, visitor and film production
destination. It is financially supported by the City of Tucson, Pima County,
the Town of Oro Valley and nearly 800 business members.
