Pecan Classic 10K and 5K Run/Walk

Pecan Classic 10K and 5K Run/Walk is run in Sahuarita, Arizona, on November 7, 2026. The 10K starts at 8 a.m. and the 5K (3.1 miles) run and walk follows at 8:05, on a scenic course through pecan orchards that is open to all ages and abilities and friendly to jogging strollers. Chip timing is used, with overall and age-group awards, and a pancake breakfast plus snacks and drinks waits in the start and finish area. Proceeds support the Green Valley Sahuarita Chamber Foundation and the Sahuarita High School student council.

Having both distances go off within five minutes makes the choice worth thinking about beforehand. The 10K is the better test if you have been running consistently and want a number that reflects your endurance as much as your speed; the 5K suits a first race, a stroller or anyone still building back up. Either way, six weeks of regular running is ample.
