• El Paso Marathon - Half Marathon - 5K

Training Program membership does not include race entry fees.

Here is a quick rundown on the 16-week upcoming Marathon Course Preview Runs.

The main idea is to give all the runners a fantastic opportunity to really get to know the marathon route. We want them to feel totally comfortable and confident on race day, without any surprises along the way.

An amazing team of ambassadors will be leading these runs. They're going to be guiding everyone, making sure it's a great experience for all. Each weekend, we'll be starting from different spots across El Paso, which means by the end of the series, people will have explored pretty much every segment of the official course.

We'll be sure to post all the specifics – like where to meet, the exact route for the week, and how far everyone will be running. It’s really important for everyone to keep an eye on those updates so they're always in the loop.

Each weekly session will have various distance options, so whether someone's just getting into longer runs or aiming for a new personal best, they can choose what feels right for them.

Registration is super straightforward – just one quick sign-up covers the entire 16-week series! No need to register multiple times; once they're in, they're set for the whole season. Before every run, we ask that ALL runners check in.

Of course, safety is always our top priority. We'll be reminding everyone to be super careful out there: follow all traffic laws, stick to sidewalks whenever possible, and always obey traffic signals. A little collective effort on safety will ensure everyone has an awesome time!

6:45 am - Gather, check in, dynamic stretching, and course and safety instructions.

7:00 am - Start (sharp!)

About the Races

In 2026, the El Paso Marathon races will return to our roots when we once again finish in Downtown, just as the marathon did for our first race in 2007.

Finishing downtown not only gives runners and spectators alike a chance to enjoy the historic center of the city, it lets runners finish on a net decline, which helps them with their finish time and improves their chances to qualify for the 2026 Boston Marathon or the 2026 Abbott WMM MTT Age Group Marathon World Championships.

The Michelob Ultra El Paso Marathon is a qualifier for both the Boston and the Abbott Age Group Championship marathons. Many El Paso Marathon overall winners and age group winners have gone on to compete in those races.

Held on the same day as the Raiz Federal Credit Union Half Marathon and the Spine & Rehab Specialists 5K, the marathon and its associated races have attracted runners from nearly every state in the United States and from countries as varied as Mexico, Norway, Liberia, and Germany.

In Loving Memory of Victor

Victor was diagnosed in 2013 with a rare form of sarcoma known as DSRCT.

He was a devoted family man, a loving husband, and a proud father of three beautiful children.

Despite facing an aggressive disease with limited treatment options, Victor lived each day with courage, strength, and compassion. He was a true warrior who inspired others through his positive spirit and dedication to giving back to his community.

Though Victor is no longer with us, his legacy of hope, love, and perseverance lives on.

Together, we can continue his mission to make a difference.

On 6 Jun 1944 US Army Rangers of the 2nd Ranger Battalion led by Lieutenant Colonel James E. Rudder scaled the 90-foot cliffs of Point du Hoc under heavy machine gun fire. Meanwhile, the 1st and 5th Ranger Battalions landed at Omaha Beacn, where intense resistance intitally pinned down the assault; Brigadier General Norman Cota famously urged them forward with the line "Rangers, lead the way!" Despite suffering heavy casualties, the Rangers siezed their objectives and established a foothold, which would lead to the eventual liberation of Europe from Nazi occupation, and victory over Hitler's Third Reich. And in every conflict since that day, the Rangers have lived the motto coined in battle: RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!

The D-Day Dash honors that legacy.

The D-Day Dash is part of the Ranger Memorial Triad. Runners who run all three races in a year will receive a free triad T-shirt and medal. If you missed Roger's Ranger Run in March, it's not too late. You can sign up for the remote (virtual) race, send in your results, and still receive credit!

The D-Day Dash 10K begins at 8 am on 6 Jun 2026 and is an out-and-back race on a paved trail.

The D-Day Dash 5K begins at 8:15 am on 6 Jun 2026 and is an out-and-back race on a paved trail.

The D-Day Dash Children's 1 mile Fun Run begins tentatively at 9:15 am on 6 Jun 2026 and is an out-and-back race on a paved trail.

The timing is designed to allow parents to run in another race and also assist their children in running the fun run; therefore the fun run will not begin until all parents have completed the other races. (Parents do not need to register for the children's fun run to run with or pace their children, unless they want a shirt and finishers medal).

All races begin at Ascarate Park. Enter the park and follow instructions for parking.

Packet pick-up is from 5:30-8:30 pm on 5 Jun 2026 at 3625 Douglas Ave, El Paso, TX 79903.

Same-day registration and same-day packet pick-up will be at 6:30-7:45 am 6 Jun 2026 at Ascarate Park.

All 5K/10K racers will receive a T-shirt and a finishers' medal (sizes not guaranteed after 30 May 2026).

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.

Eagle Kids Splash & Dash - Registration opens March 13, 2026!

We’re excited to introduce the Eagle Kids Splash and Dash, a brand‑new youth event added to our Eagle at Night Aquathlon lineup. Designed for ages 6–13, this fast‑paced, confidence‑building race features a 100‑meter swim followed by a 1K run. It’s the perfect way for young athletes to challenge themselves, experience multisport racing, and feel the thrill of crossing the finish line under the lights. Whether they’re brand‑new to racing or already love being active, our Eagle Kids Splash and Dash is all about fun, safety, and celebrating every child’s effort.

Eagle Kids Splash and Dash is participatory only.
