Part run, part celebration, part delightful chaos. The Big Gay 5K starts and finishes at Armory Park in downtown Tucson, taking participants through the colorful, historic streets of Barrio Viejo before returning for a lively finish festival. Walk, run, strut, or sparkle your way across the finish line, then stay for music, drinks, entertainment, and an extended after-party in the park.
