We're back for 2026!

Kids Race Saturday, April 18, 8 am start time, will run in waves

Adults Race Sunday, April 19, 8 am start time

We're doing things a little different this year, however. With all of the construction on campus, we're not sure if and when the roads will be ready, and we don't know what condition they'll be in. We've been waiting for an update, but since we need to get registration started, we've decided to have an AQUATHON for 2026! We've decided to have the Kids race an AQUATHON as well. Since it will be April, and weather could be a factor, we will continue our "reverse" order (run, then swim). The adult run course will be shorter, but the swim will be the same. We're keeping the athena, clydesdale and team categories.

  • All course maps updated and posted on Course Map page

  • Adult course: 2 mile run (1 lap, new course), 400 m swim (8 lengths).

  • Finishers medals for ALL participants! Brought to us by our faithful participants The Ellers!

Age group awards!

  • 12 week training program available with an optional pre/post program physical fitness evaluation through the UNM Exercise Physiology Lab

  • Registration COMING SOON

Please note that there are separate registrations for the Race, the Training Program and the optional physical fitness evaluation.

Run is around the University of New Mexico (UNM) Campus (Redondo), followed by swimming in the UNM Seidler Natatorium.

All proceeds benefit the UNM Health, Exercise and Sports Sciences (HESS) Youth Camp and Graduate Student Travel. No refunds. Unclaimed entries will be considered donations. Improper usage of the UNM Staff & Faculty, or UNM/CNM student pricing will result in reservation cancelation without refund.

Races and Training Program offered at Johnson Field on the University of New Mexico campus in Albuquerque, NM.

T-Shirts not guaranteed after February 14

    Would you like to support libraries and get some exercise at the same time? Then this is the event for you!

    Join library supporters all across New Mexico by walking or running on the Saturday of National Library Week, April 25th at 10:00 am MT. Race sites will be in Carlsbad, Capitan, Farmington, Las Cruces, Las Vegas, and Santa Fe. Live somewhere else or busy that day? Feel free to register and participate any time to support libraries, any where before midnight April 25th, 2026.

    Locations all over New Mexico and various times and dates. The site host will be reaching out to you. Walk or run at your own pace with other library supporters from your community; there will be no times or winners. Our goal is that you have a good time and that the real winners will be New Mexico libraries. 100% of funds raised in Run/Walk for NM Libraries will go directly to libraries and librarians in New Mexico in the form of Development, STEM, and Professional Development Grants.

    Continuing this year! Free t-shirts thanks to the sponsorship of Thrivent, REFORMA de Nuevo Mexico, The JSA Foundation, and Friends of NMLF.

    Step back in time and hit the streets to the soundtrack of three iconic eras at Run Through the Decades—a race that celebrates the unforgettable music of the 60s, 70s, and 80s! Whether you love the soulful rhythms of the 60s, the funky grooves of the 70s, or the neon-charged energy of the 80s, this event brings each decade to life—one mile at a time.

    Join us at Tingley Beach in Albuquerque, NM.

    To honor these legendary musical eras, runners can choose from three themed race distances:

    • 6K for the groovy 60s

    • 7K for the funky 70s

    • 8K for the epic 80s

    Can’t decide? Complete all three distances to conquer the Run Through the Decades Half Marathon—the ultimate time-traveling challenge.

    All athletes will receive a custom finisher medal, and we’ll present awards for all four races in the usual 5-year age groups starting at 10 & under, giving runners of all ages a chance to shine.

    So dust off your tie-dye, break out your disco glam, or rock your brightest neon—get ready to run, groove, and celebrate the music that defined generations!
