For 20 years we've worked closely with Downtown Tucson Partnership, starting in the days way back when, with Donovan Durband, Jamie Manser, and Brandy Haga Blackman at the now-long-gone La Placita Village.

What is DTP?  

Founded in 1998, the Downtown Tucson Partnership (DTP) is a nonprofit organization that manages and markets the Downtown Tucson Business Improvement District, supporting the property owners, businesses, and residents who make up downtown. The district spans 54 blocks in downtown Tucson’s heart, centered on Congress and Stone Avenues. Funded primarily through a stakeholder-approved property assessment, DTP provides enhanced safety, cleaning, marketing, economic development, and placemaking services designed to strengthen downtown’s role as Southern Arizona’s civic and economic center.

For us at Run Tucson, Downtown Tucson Partnership is exactly that, a partnership that bring people together to make our hometown a better place to live and to make our Downtown a more vibrant and cohesive place for all of us.  

We're grateful to Crystal Moore, President and CEO; to the entire DTP staff; and to the DTP Board of Directors for all the support we've received from DTP over the years.
