What's the "Loop"? The Chuck Huckelberry Loop is 120+ miles of paved, shared-use paths that connect the Rillito, Santa Cruz, and Pantano River Parks with the Julian Wash and Harrison Road Greenways. However, in 2025, due to the ongoing Sunset bridge construction, the RAT will utilize the Rillito and Canyon Del Oro Washes. The RunAround Tucson will use 50 miles of the Loop and its segment partners. View the map to see the event's course. How Does the Relay Work?
