Lace up for a cause that truly makes a difference at the Community Partners of El Paso Presents: 5K To Fill the Room, set to take place on Sunday, April 19, 2026, in sunny El Paso, TX. This isn't just a race; it's a powerful opportunity to support abused and neglected children and their families serviced by Child Protective Services (CPS) in the El Paso area. Every stride you take in this 5K run or walk directly contributes to stocking the "Rainbow Room," an emergency resource center providing essential items like diapers, clothing, and school supplies for children in need.

The event unfolds at Ascarate Park, offering participants a community-focused atmosphere with flat, fast, and open sections perfect for achieving a personal best or enjoying a leisurely pace. In addition to the timed 5K, the day includes a non-competitive Family 1-Mile Walk and an exciting Kids' 50-Meter Dash, ensuring fun for all ages and fitness levels. Typical race day conditions in April offer pleasant running weather, with highs around 82°F and lows around 55°F, and a 0% chance of precipitation, though participants should be mindful of potentially breezy conditions on exposed sections of the course.

Beyond the finish line, your participation helps Community Partners of El Paso fill a crucial gap by providing immediate resources that state budgets often cannot, directly impacting the well-being of vulnerable children in the community. Join fellow runners and walkers to make a tangible impact and "fill the room" with hope and vital support for local kids.
