Course Information
Start Line
Located at the Lynx Exhibits, 300 W. San Antonio Street (beside the El Paso Convention Center).
All Half Marathon participants will still have the "4-hour time limit" to complete the course.
All marathon, half marathon, and 5k participants should be adequately trained to complete their respective courses within 6 hours. Please note – this is gun time, not chip time. Please plan your training accordingly. If you want to drop out of the race (for non-injury reasons), visit the nearest medical station on the course.
Water, sports drink, energy gel, and medical teams will be located on the marathon course at select mile stations.
Clothing
Dress in layers at the start, it will most likely be chilly – about 40 degrees. As the sun rises, it will warm up to about 65 degrees (average high in March). Please check the race day weather forecast and dress accordingly.
Post Race
Post Awards Assembly
Awards will be presented to the top men and women finishers in all age categories during the awards ceremony after the race.
Massage Practitioners
A limited number of licensed massage from Mindfull Movement & Massage therapists will be available for all marathon finishers. Sessions last 20, 40, and 60 minutes and are available for a fee. All post-race massages will take place in the Mindful Movement & Massage tent at the finish line. Pre-race massage will also be available at the Sports & Fitness Expo.
Photographs
Personal on-course and finish-line photos will be taken by photographers from Ron Stathis Photography. A variety of event photos will be taken. Last year over 96% of the runners and walkers were photographed at either the finish or out along the course. Don't forget to smile. Please do not cover up your number, as it helps photographers spot you on the course. Photos will be displayed on the Michelob Ultra El Paso Marathon and El Paso Half Marathon and 5K website, and may also be purchased online. They will be viewable later on event day, along with the results.
