The Sunrise Series takes place at 114 W Mills in El Paso, Texas on May 30, 2026. This 5K running event starts at 6:45 AM, offering early-morning competitors a chance to race in cooler conditions. Entry costs $35.00. The early start time suits athletes who prefer to knock out their race before the day heats up, making this an efficient option for runners traveling to El Paso for a spring competition. Plan your travel and accommodation accordingly if you're arriving from out of town.
