Hey, El Paso! The Eagle at Night Aquathlon is back for its second year, and we’re excited to welcome athletes for another unforgettable evening under the lights. This unique multisport race begins with a 400‑meter swim in the 50‑meter outdoor pool, followed by a 5K run around Ascarate Park, finishing at the Ascarate Golf Course.
For those who prefer to stick to land, we’re also offering a standalone 5K run through the park and golf course.
An aquathlon is a multisport event that combines swimming and running, typically in two or three segments. Eagle at Night features a two‑segment format: Swim and Run, making it an accessible and exciting challenge for athletes of all levels.
