Expo
The REVEL Mt Lemmon Expo & Packet Pick-Up is located at Tucson Indoor Sports Center in Tucson. All parking is free. Check out the many vendors and purchase your Official Race Merchandise!
A photo ID is required to pick up your race bag. We will allow individuals to pick up someone else's bag but will require a copy of the person's ID and a note authorizing them to do so (both can be digital). Unless you have pre-purchased Race Day Packet Pick-Up, bag and shirt pickup will not be available the morning of the race.

parking & busing
Because REVEL Mt Lemmon is a point-to-point route, we will bus you from the finish parking area to the start line. Your bib is your ticket to board a bus. Due to road closures and participant safety all runners must take the buses the morning of the race. You may not park or be dropped off at the start lines.
Race parking is available at La Mariposa Resort 1501 N Houghton Rd, Tucson, AZ 85749
All designated parking is approximately 4 miles from the finish area. There will be shuttles continually running from the designated parking lots to the finish area from 6:00am until 1:00pm for both spectators and runners.
aid stations
The Aid Stations will be equipped with water, Lemon Lime Powerade, restrooms, and basic medical supplies. In addition some aid stations will include Gu Energy Gels, fruit, and medical personnel (see aid station map below). **Any personal belongings dropped on the course will be donated to charity.**
Drop Bags
You will receive a race bag when you pick up your packet at the expo. This bag is for you to take to the starting areas. A number that matches your race bib will be attached to your race bag. This is to identify your bag at the finish area after the race, and you will need your bib to prove ownership of your bag when you pick it up. Please carry any belongings to the starting area in this bag, as opposed to any other personal bags, which cannot be identified by your race number. Bags must be placed in the bag trucks at the starting areas at least 15 minutes prior to the race start.
Important: Ensure your bag is secured tightly and do NOT place personal items or anything that you cannot afford to lose in your bag. REVEL will not be responsible for lost items.
**Any personal belongings dropped at aid stations or anywhere along the course will be donated to charity.**
timing & bibs
The races will be chip-timed using timing tags adhered to the back of your bib. Your time will begin when you cross the starting line and stop when you cross the finish line. Overall prize winners (top 3 in each race) will be determined by gun time, not chip time. Please do not tamper with the timing chips, as they cannot be replaced once linked to your bib number.
Because the timing tag is adhered to the back of your race bib, it is important that you do not cover your bib with clothing or other objects that may interfere with the tag reader when you are crossing the start and finish lines. Furthermore, in order to ensure that race volunteers, officials, and photographers can properly identify you, you must wear your bib on the front of your person in an unobstructed position. If the photographers along the course cannot see your bib number, we will have no way to get your photos to you.
Finish Line Festivities
Once you cross the finish line, stick around and enjoy the exciting atmosphere at the finish. Runners will be greeted with some great food as you celebrate your achievement with friends and family. Check out the vendor booths, get a photo in front of our beautiful backdrops, listen to some great music, give a hand to the rest of the runners coming in, and attend the awards ceremonies to congratulate the winners.
