TUCSON METRO ROUTE
Southern Arizona Memorial Ride
Riding through Tucson in remembrance
The Tucson Metro Route brings riders from across the greater Tucson area together to honor Arizona’s fallen first responders and military service members.
This ride travels through several Tucson communities and includes stops to remember those who gave their lives in service to others.
Because the mission doesn’t end with the funeral.
It continues in those left standing.

Ride Conditions & Safety Notice
Our memorial rides cover a wide range of terrains, including city traffic, mountain roads, rural highways, and freeways—often in unpredictable weather conditions.
These environments require a higher level of riding skill, experience, and confidence, along with reliable equipment.
If your vehicle, experience, or comfort level does not meet these demands, we strongly encourage you to participate using a full-sized vehicle instead.
Participants should begin hydrating several days prior to the ride and continue hydrating throughout the event. Arizona conditions can be unforgiving, and proper hydration is critical to your safety and performance.
Safety is our top priority—for every rider, every volunteer, and every participant.
