💰 Race Pricing and Park Entry

A note on 2026 pricing: Your race entry includes an entrance pass to the Saguaro National Park. The National Park Service has changed their event pricing model, so the Southern Arizona Roadrunners is required to pay $15 per participant. SAR is committed to paying some of that cost, but you can save $5 on your registration by submitting your National Park Service number at the appropriate spot in the registration process. You can purchase an NPS annual pass online here.

🌵 Saguaro Beneficiaries

• The National Park Service: The National Park Service has been gracious about allowing us access to the beautiful park. The Park Service asks that all participants pay the standard entry fee to the park. This amount will go directly to the National Parks Service. If you buy an annual pass to the national parks (or are under 16 years of age), this fee will be waived if you provide your permit number on your hard-copy entry form or your online registration.
• Friends of Saguaro: This year's event will donate funds to the Friends of Saguaro. Friends of Saguaro National Park: Our mission is to help the public discover Saguaro, protect Saguaro, and support Saguaro.
• Southern Arizona Roadrunners: This event raises operating funds for SAR and income for the Children's Fitness Fund, an award-based program supporting youth fitness in and around Tucson.
