Pecan Classic

Nov. 7, 2026

5K & 10K Run/Walk

We are sorry to share that the Pecan Classic has been canceled.

As announced today, FICO is in the process of selling the orchards. Because of this transition, we are unable to move forward with this year’s race. If you registered early, your registration refund is being processed.

For 17 years, the Pecan Orchard Run Series has been about so much more than running. Together, our runners, sponsors and volunteers have helped us give more than $100,000 back to local nonprofits and community organizations.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has been part of these races over the years. To the runners who came back season after season, the volunteers who cheered you across the finish line, the Green Valley firefighters who cooked those post-race pancakes, the 4 H kids and their little petting zoo, our timing partners, our sponsors and the FICO employees who worked behind the scenes to make race day possible, thank you.

What we do know is this: you made these races special.

Thank you for every mile, every early morning and every memory made under the pecan trees. It has been a privilege to share the orchard with you.
