Amigo Man 5K Run & 1 Mile Walk

Amigo Man 5K Run & 1 Mile Walk is held in El Paso, Texas, on May 2, 2027. Two formats share a 7:30 a.m. start: a 5K (3.1 miles) and a 1-mile fun run and walk. Both are short, early-morning options, and the shared start time means a family can enter different distances and still finish within a few minutes of one another.

For a runner with a regular routine, a 5K is a chance to test your current speed without disrupting a training block. Slot it in as a hard session, warm up for 10 to 15 minutes beforehand, and go out at an effort you can hold for the full 3.1 miles rather than sprinting the first quarter mile. The 1-mile format is the better pick for children, walkers, or anyone returning after a break, and it doubles as an easy way to introduce someone to a race environment before they commit to a longer distance.
