NEW TITLE SPONSORTucson Medical Center has joined the Southern Arizona Roadrunners as the title sponsor for Get Moving Tucson. Thanks to TMC, we will continue to have the city’s premier long distance event!
The TMC Get Moving Tucson has once again partnered with Tucson’s most popular festival, Tucson Meet Yourself. Every year, over 100,000 visitors flock to Tucson Meet Yourself, a 3-day fair of food, music, dance, and a celebration of our shared culture. See http://www.tucsonmeetyourself.org.
As last year, the TMC Get Moving Tucson start/finish and staging area will be on Church Street just north of Congress. Thanks to Pepsi, Gatorade, Sobe, Muscle Milk, and Sunflower Farmer’s Market, plus the many Tucson Meet Yourself ethnic food vendors, there will be plenty of food and drink. Entertainment will include a wide variety of global music and dance, including Afro-Caribbean & Taiko drumming, Salsa & Zumba dancing, Martial Arts demonstrations, games & folk arts activities and much more. After the run, stay for the fun!
