John Bingham Racing invites you to join us in what is one of the most scenic celebrations of the active healthy lifestyle in the west. Join us in gorgeous Oro Valley, Arizona (just minutes from Tucson) for the fourth annual Valley of Gold Half Marathon and Northwest Medical Center Oro Valley 5K.

As with all JBR events, the Arizona Distance Classic will be a celebration of athletes, young and old, fast and slow. Everyone gets a warrior's send off at the start and a hero's welcome at the finish line.

Maximum Entrants:

To ensure a safe course and a great post race party, the half marathon field will be limited to the first 1,500 registrations. Register early to make sure you have a spot in the Fourth Annual Arizona Distance Classic.
