Racing the Sun

Racing the Sun is a workforce development program that engages high school students in real-life, hand’s-on problem solving, engineering, teamwork and career readiness. There is no other competition like this in our region. It’s a great program with big impacts.

You are invited to join us for the fun! On April 27, 2019 from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm you’ll see some of Arizona’s best and brightest compete with their solar powered go-karts for speed, endurance and efficiency. The event is free and open to the public. It is held at Musselman Honda Circuit, located at 11800 S. Harrison Road, Tucson, AZ 85747. An awards ceremony will follow the main event.
