El Paso Sunrise Series 2027
The Sunrise Series is a set of four live 5K races held across El Paso between May 29 and July 17, 2027, plus parallel virtual 5K options. Each live event takes place at a different location: Eastside Sports Complex, Ascarate Park, a northeast El Paso site to be determined, and Braden Aboud Memorial Park. The listed registration fee per event is $35.
Each event has its own packet pickup on the Thursday and Friday before the race. The first packet pickup is at Smoothie King, 2720 John Hayes, on May 27 and May 28. Subsequent packet pickup dates are scheduled for the Thursdays and Fridays before each race; specific locations are to be announced. Virtual participants may pick up swag at the event packet pickups, at the conclusion of the final live event, at a catch all after party to be announced, or receive mailed packets after August 1, 2027.
Medals and giveaways: each race has a unique medal and a unique giveaway. Completing all four races completes the series medal. Shirt or tank giveaways and sizes are guaranteed only for the first 800 registrants who register on or before May 1, 2027.
Awards and prizes: age group awards are given to the top three finishers at each live event in the listed age categories. Cash prizes for the overall fastest male and female series finishers are awarded at the season finale; eligibility requires registration for all four live events. Team awards are given to the largest teams at the finale. Smoothie King Strava segments will recognize one male and one female winner per event with a gift card; public Strava settings are required.
