The El Paso Marathon Foundation mission is to organize a first-class marathon that promotes health and fitness in the community, brings tourism to the region of El Paso and provides support to local and national non-profit organizations.
Shed your layers at the start and pack dry clothes and your favorite post-race snack for the finish. You’ll receive a gear check bag and label at the Expo. Your goodie bag will serve as your gear bag on race day.
Michelob Ultra and Good Time Stores have expressed their commitment to improve the quality of life for El Pasoans by supporting activities such the marathon. Their support enables the El Paso Marathon Foundation to reach out to runners, as well as the entire community to promote health, fitness and wellbeing.
The Michelob Ultra El Paso Marathon is 26.2 miles long. The Good Time Stores half marathon is 13.1 miles long. Both races will start at 7 A.M. at Lynx Exhibits, 300 W. San Antonio Street and go through Kern Place, the University of Texas at El Paso and on to the beautiful upper valley. The full marathon will then continue toward Sunland Park Casino into New Mexico then head back to El Paso through Anapra finishing at the same location as the start.
Proceeds from the marathon will support the El Paso Diabetes Association, Avance, The El Paso Police Foundation and VOLAR Center for Independent living.
Invited guests include fourteen of the world-famous Tarahumara distance runners from Mexico.
