RedHawks Fun Run 2026

Franklin Mountains TrailFest 100km, 50km, 30km, 30km relay, 10km, 5km, King/Queen of the MountainJanuary 21–24, 2027 | Franklin Mountains State Park, El Paso, TXThe Franklin Mountains TrailFest is four days of trail running in one of the most dramatic settings in the American Southwest. Rugged desert singletrack, a summit with four-state views, a trail film festival, and races from 5K to 100K. Something here for everyone, whether it's your first trail race or your fortieth.All races are held in Franklin Mountains State Park, Tom Mays Unit, off Transmountain Road in El Paso, Texas. The Franklins The Franklins are the largest sustained urban mountain range in Texas. North Franklin Peak rises to 7,192 feet, roughly 3,000 feet above the city below. On a clear day from the summit, you can see into Arizona, New Mexico, and Mexico. It's not subtle.The terrain is what you'd expect from a true desert mountain race: rocky, exposed, and unforgiving in the best way. The 50K and 100K circumnavigate the

mountain and climb to the summit. The 30K and King & Queen of the Mountain also top out on North Franklin Peak. You'll earn every one of those views.On the eastern flank of the mountain, you'll pass remnants of the country's only tin mining, milling, and smelting operation, which ran from 1910 to 1915. History underfoot.Franklin Mountains State Park offers primitive camping (no water on-site). Plan accordingly. Franklin Mountain Frenzy Four days. One Film Fest & Three races.
