El Paso Marathon & Half Marathon

El Paso Marathon & Half Marathon occupies two days in El Paso, Texas. A kids' dash opens things at 1:00 p.m. on February 27, 2027, then the marathon (26.2 miles) starts at 7:00 a.m., the half marathon (13.1 miles) at 7:20 a.m. and the 5K run/walk at 7:40 a.m. on February 28. The marathon now finishes in downtown El Paso, which gives runners a faster course and a historic backdrop, and it serves as a qualifier for the Boston Marathon and the Abbott WMM Age Group World Championships. It shares the weekend with the Raiz Federal Credit Union Half Marathon and the Spine & Rehab Specialists 5K, drawing entrants from across the United States and several countries.

The dual qualifying status tells you who this race is for: runners with a time target. Build for 18 weeks and rehearse goal pace in your long runs.
