Hello again to the TMC Sunrise at Old Tucson Trail Run registrants and volunteers.

We had a great day out there yesterday! We were thrilled to see so many smiles, happy faces, and fun racing outfits. We also saw some skinned knees and cactus wounds, and we hope everyone is doing well!

As a way to thank you for being part of the TMC Old Tucson Trail Run event, farther below is a discount code to our next event on April 20th, the TMC Earth Day 5k at the Biosphere 2. Also, we've opened registration for next year's TMC Old Tucson Trail Run and you can register here for the half-price of $20 until the end of February.

Old Tucson is one of our favorite race locations and we can't produce this particular event without the support of the team at Old Tucson Entertainment. Special thanks to the team at Old Tucson for helping us get back to such a fun venue!

OK, read on for more post-race information:

Awards and Remaining Shirts

AWARDS: Results are posted in a number of places, so you can follow the various links here at Roadrunner Race Timing and here at the Southern Arizona Roadrunners.

If you earned an age-group award in the Female 4-Miler or the Male 4-Miler, you can pick up the gift card at The Running Shop through March 15th. Awards went to the top three men and women in the 4-mile divisions, first 40+ in each division, and then the top three in age groups, from 14U through 80+. There were no age group awards in the Family Mile.

The Running Shop is at 3055 North Campbell Avenue.

REMAINING SHIRTS: If you did not make it to either of the packet pickup opportunities, you can visit the Running Shop through March 15th to pick up your race shirt. As we've announced throughout, shirts are first-come, first-served in terms of sizing. At this point, we cannot promise that everyone will receive their perfect sizing.

REFUNDS: Please note that there are no refunds for the event.

Race Report

On the speedster side of things, the overall winners both ran strong races to set new course records over these challenges trails. (We think the course is closer to 4.14 miles, but we're not entirely sure exactly how long it is.)

The first race of the day saw local standout Billie Lubis (above) take an early lead through Main Street and cruise to a first-place time of 26:55. Second place went to former race winner Claire Hans in 28:28, while third saw Tara Bruce cross the line at 28:44. First place in the master's division was the age-less wonder, Janet Stamper Holland in 30:43.

Our final finishers in the Women's Four-Mile are deserving of a shout-out, as Laureen Adernin and Shirly Hester worked together through the 2-mile mark, with Laureen finishing in 1:30:42 and Shirley Hester coming through in

1:51:29 -- pretty good for 81!

In the Open race, Miles Dunbar (leading in green below) continued his strong running, taking first place and narrowly dipping under 22 minutes with a time of 21:59. Second place and first master went to Jose Delgado (in black below), while 17-year-old Jaxon Maher took third overall in 25:44.

Our final finisher in the men's race was Don Branaman, who showed that we're going to need a new age category, finishing in 1:16:22 at 85 years of age.

The Family One Mile saw a sibling top finish, with Caleb Lefforge taking first place in 6:53 and his 12-year-old sister Isabelle Lefforge snagging third in 7:40. Squeezing between them was Henry Ennen, second place overall in 6:56. The route was not a perfect mile, but those are some great times by the youngsters. Thanks to all of you who walked and ran the mile!
