Marathon Michelob Ultra de El Paso

Michelob Ultra El Paso Marathon takes place in El Paso, Texas, on February 21, 2027, with three road distances: the marathon (26.2 miles), with about 660 feet of climbing, a half marathon (13.1 miles) and a 5K (3.1 miles). The courses run through El Paso itself, giving you a look at the city along the way, and part of the entry fees goes to a charitable cause. Start times are not listed.

Three formats on one morning means a group can enter together and still race at its own level, from a quick 5K to the full distance. The elevation change on the marathon is modest, so the day turns on pacing discipline and fueling rather than on terrain: a 16-week build with a weekly long run taken out toward 20 miles covers it. If you are here for the 5K instead, treat the warm-up as part of the race and include a few strides before the gun.
