Prepare for an empowering day of athleticism at the Mighty Mujer Triathlon in El Paso, TX, on Saturday, May 2, 2026. This inspiring all-female event is celebrated for its inclusive and supportive atmosphere, welcoming women of all backgrounds and abilities to challenge themselves and connect with a vibrant community. Participants can tackle various distances, including a 3-mile run/walk option, or complete the 3-mile run as the final leg of the Sprint Triathlon (which also features a 300-yard indoor pool swim and an 18-mile bike). Typical race day conditions in early May feature pleasant temperatures, with highs around 84F and lows near 57F, alongside a mere 1% chance of precipitation, creating ideal racing weather.

The 3-mile run course winds through the scenic Memorial Park area of Central El Paso, offering a beautiful backdrop for athletes. Runners will complete three loops around the park, allowing for consistent spectator support and a chance to truly soak in the race day energy. While the 3-mile run is generally considered accessible, those participating in the Sprint Triathlon will first navigate a challenging 18-mile bike route known for its rewarding rolling hills through historic Manhattan Heights before transitioning to the run. The in-person event kicks off with a 300-yard swim in a 25-yard pool at Memorial Pool, ensuring a controlled and supportive start to the triathlon experience.

What truly sets the Mighty Mujer Triathlon apart is its unwavering commitment to empowering women and fostering community. Founded in 2012, the event was created to open the sport for women of color, introducing thousands to triathlon through an inclusive experience. Racers often praise the positive and energetic environment, feeling immense pride upon crossing the finish line. Unique features like Mother-Daughter teams further enhance the camaraderie, and the race proudly supports the Center Against Sexual & Family Violence, allowing participants to make a difference beyond the finish line. It’s more than just a race; it's a rite of passage and a celebration of female strength and spirit.
