We're thrilled to unveil the colorful shirts that will celebrate your accomplishments in the 2024 Gabe Zimmerman Triple Crown
The first 500 Gabe Zimmerman Triple Crown registrants will receive the bright pink "Triple Crown" shirt, in both unisex and "women's" cut.
All registrants will also receive the colorful "TMC Meet Me Downtown" shirt highlighting beautiful Downtown Tucson, with a nod to the colors of the original start/finish back in 2006 at La Placita Village.
Both shirts are a soft technical fabric, perfect for running, hitting the gym, or wearing around town.
Remember: the first 500 who register for the Gabe Zimmerman Triple Crown will receive the first Gabe Zimmerman medal (featured in the image below), given out at the June 1st TMC Meet Me Downtown 5k Night Run/Walk at Armory Park.

Gabe Zimmerman Triple Crown | |

Tucson's premier three-race series honoring the life of Gabe Zimmerman
Gabe Zimmerman lost his life in the January 2011 shooting of U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords here in Tucson.
Others killed by gun violence that day include Christina Taylor Green, Dorothy "Dot" Morris, Judge John Roll, Phyllis Scheck, and Dorwin Stoddard.
Gabe was killed doing what he was best at: supporting his community, trying to make it a better place for everyone, regardless of their politics or their backgrounds.
Gabe's presence will forever be a part of our community, from the Gabe Zimmerman Davison Canyon Trailhead to the Gabe Zimmerman Meeting Room at the U.S. Capital.
We are grateful to Ross Zimmerman (standing with Gabe in the Mt Lemmon photo above) and Julia Strange at Tucson Medical Center for developing the concept of the Gabe Zimmerman Triple Crown.
Gabe's whole family has been devoted to fitness, running, and the Arizona outdoors, and we are honored to be able to celebrate the spirit of Gabe and highlight the possibilities for our community through the Gabe Zimmerman Triple Crown.
Raising funds for the BEYOND-Foundation and other local organizations.
