Friday, July 3rd, 2026
Whether you are a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, there is an event for everyone. Our Electric 5k offers two events: a 1-mile and a 5k. Portions of proceeds from the registration will be put towards the LCRC Summer youth Program, a series of 1-mile fun runs free to kids 14 and under, and donations to Dona Ana area high school cross-country programs!
All races begin and end on W Hadley Ave across from the Meerscheidt Center. Our 5k runs South on W Hadley Ave to Solano, north to Madrid, making a U-turn before the Apodaca Baseball field, and retraces back to the finish line. The street will be lined with thousands of spectators waiting to watch the Las Cruces Electric Parade. With less than 10ft of elevation gain, this is our flattest race, creating the perfect conditions for you to run your fastest time.
Free participants will receive a bib. Paid participants will receive a bib and a t-shirt (not guaranteed after 6/12).
Paz Baseball fields and Las Cruces Skating Park Parking lot off W Hadley. Enter from 1000 W Walnut St as Hadley may be closed.
