El Paso Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, warming finish
Runners will face a temperature increase from 45°F at the start to 62°F by the finish, with a max wind of 14 mph from the SW creating a headwind in the early miles. With humidity at a comfortable 27%, conditions are favorable, but runners should be prepared for the toughest stretches with headwinds between miles 15-24. Adjust pacing early to take advantage of the tailwind from miles 4-10.

Race Info
The El Paso Marathon is held each February in downtown El Paso, Texas, with a half marathon and a 5K on the same morning. The marathon is a Boston Marathon qualifier and an Abbott WMM Age Group Marathon World Championships qualifier, and the 2027 races finish at San Jacinto Plaza on a net decline. It is organized by the El Paso Runners Foundation, a volunteer-led nonprofit, and the 2026 edition drew the largest field in the race's history. Wikipedia
