Tucson, AZ, WPH Press, 11/1/22-
The seventh annual 2022 Tucson Memorial marks the 72nd event in the history of the Race 4 Eight tour, with the tour spanning 17 states in the R48’s first eleven seasons. The 2022 Tucson Memorial will feature the largest prize purse of the 2022/23 Race 4 Eight XI handball season ($30k), with the top R48 Men’s pros, Women Race 4 Eight, and Senior Race 4 Eight (40+) pros vying for one of the sport’s most prestigious prizes.
The Tucson Memorial was created in 2015 to honor handball friends and family who were sadly lost, a tradition that has evoked wonderful memories of handball players and fans who spent their lifetimes playing and supporting in the sport.
