Michelob Ultra El Paso Marathon, Raiz Federal Credit Union Half Marathon, and Spine & Rehab Specialists 5K Run/Walk

🏃‍♂️ About the Races

In 2026, 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 2026 Boston Marathon or the 2026 Abbott WMM MTT Age Group Marathon World Championships.

🏅 Qualification Opportunities

• Michelob Ultra El Paso Marathon: A qualifier for both the Boston and the Abbott Age Group Championship marathons.
• Competitive History: Many El Paso Marathon overall winners and age group winners have gone on to compete in those races.

🌍 Participation

Held on the same day as the Raiz Federal Credit Union Half Marathon and the Spine & Rehab Specialists 5K, the marathon and its associated races have attracted runners from nearly every state in the United States and from countries as varied as Mexico, Norway, Liberia, and Germany.
