Here is a quick rundown on the 16-week upcoming Marathon Course Preview Runs.
The main idea is to give all the runners a fantastic opportunity to really get to know the marathon route. We want them to feel totally comfortable and confident on race day, without any surprises along the way.
An amazing team of ambassadors will be leading these runs. They're going to be guiding everyone, making sure it's a great experience for all. Each weekend, we'll be starting from different spots across El Paso, which means by the end of the series, people will have explored pretty much every segment of the official course.
We'll be sure to post all the specifics – like where to meet, the exact route for the week, and how far everyone will be running. It’s really important for everyone to keep an eye on those updates so they're always in the loop.
Each weekly session will have various distance options, so whether someone's just getting into longer runs or aiming for a new personal best, they can choose what feels right for them.
Registration is super straightforward – just one quick sign-up covers the *entire* 16-week series! No need to register multiple times; once they're in, they're set for the whole season. Before every run, we ask that ALL runners check in.
Of course, safety is always our top priority. We'll be reminding everyone to be super careful out there: follow all traffic laws, stick to sidewalks whenever possible, and always obey traffic signals. A little collective effort on safety will ensure everyone has an awesome time!
