Following a year of discussions and planning, Speedleague and Old Tucson Company have formalized a three-year commitment to hold races annually through 2019.

Competitors will battle head-to-head in a series of exciting elimination heats throughout the weekend in order to advance to the final race on Sunday afternoon. The Tucson Mountain Park will provide a dramatic backdrop for athletes and fans alike.
