Our Mission
The El Paso Runners Foundation organizes first-class events that elevate quality of life through health and fitness, bring tourism to El Paso, support local nonprofit organizations, and create a positive impact in our community.


Initiatives
Running Changes Everything.
In El Paso, it changes lives, businesses, neighborhoods, and what the world sees when it looks at our city.
The El Paso Runners Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit built by and for the Sun City, led entirely by volunteers who are runners, civic leaders, and community builders united by one belief: that a great race does far more than mark miles.
What We Do
Since 2006, we have organized world-class running and walking events that put El Paso on the national and international map. Every race we produce brings visitors to our hotels and restaurants, puts our city in front of new audiences, fuels local charities, and gives tens of thousands of people a reason to lace up and move. We don't just host races. We build something bigger, a running community that invests in El Paso year after year.
Why It Matters
Every registration, every finish line, every volunteer hour adds up.
Funds directed to local nonprofit organizations doing real work in our community
Economic activity generated in the El Paso–Ciudad Juárez corridor
A healthier, more connected city, one race at a time
Run With Us. Build With Us.
Whether you cross the finish line, cheer from the sidelines; or partner with us as a sponsor, you are part of what makes El Paso extraordinary.
Together, we stride toward a brighter future for our city.
