5k-30k-5k Time Trial


Did a 5k-30k-5k run-bike-run time trial yesterday, beginning at Esperero Canyon parking lot (which is the first left right after Sabino Canyon recreational area). It's best to do it on a Saturday or Sunday morning because the lot is always empty with just a car or two and you have the whole room to yourself for your transitions. Well, not like you need the whole space but it's always nice to have nothing in your way!

This is a good route incase you'd like to follow this for your next brick workout. It's safe and away from traffic. I love riding on Sunrise--nice smooth road with rolling hills and a super roomy bike lane!

The 5k run route is mapped out for your visual convenience.

5k Run Route
  • South on Sabino Canyon Rd
  • Right on Winddriver Dr, which turns into Ventana Vista (here, you'll come to a slight uphill run)
  • Left onto Sunrise
  • Turn back at Chieftan Trail, running on Sunrise eastward towards Sabino Canyon Rd
  • Left on Sabino Canyon Rd and back to the lot on your left

30k Bike Route (out and back course)
  • From Esperero Canyon, turn right onto Sabino Canyon Rd
  • Right onto Sunrise which turns into E Skyline Dr
  • Turn around at N 1st Ave and back to starting point

Repeat 5k run route in reverse.
