About the Races
In 2027, the El Paso Marathon races will return to our roots when we once again finish in Downtown, just as the marathon did for our first race in 2007.
Finishing downtown not only gives runners and spectators alike a chance to enjoy the historic center of the city, it lets runners finish on a net decline, which helps them with their finish time and improves their chances to qualify for the 2027 Boston Marathon or the 2027 Abbott WMM MTT Age Group Marathon World Championships.
