Run to Your Calling

Run to Your Calling takes place in El Paso, Texas, on October 24, 2026. The 5K run and the 1 mile walk both start at 5 p.m., so runners and walkers set off together in the late afternoon.

An evening start changes the day more than it changes the race. Eat your main meal at lunchtime, keep the afternoon light, and give yourself a longer warm-up than usual after hours of sitting, because legs that have been still all day feel slow over the first mile. Locals can simply race it; visitors should build in time to get across town before the gun. Six weeks of consistent running with one weekly session of short, hard repetitions will have you ready, and the mile walk is an easy way to bring family along.
