El Paso, TX
This race benefits a program that provides heart surgery and cardiovascular care for children with congenital heart conditions along the border region. That context gives the morning a weight that goes beyond the course itself. Packet pickup runs across two evenings beforehand at a furniture store on Gateway Boulevard East, with the second evening's hours still being confirmed.

Going by the 2025 results, this is a big field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 34:33, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:08:15, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
With 1,571 finishers there are runners at every pace, so you are never out on your own. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 3.1 Miles winner ran 15:54 while the median finisher took 34:33. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
