Nun Run for the Senior Class of 2026 and Other Projects

Lace up for a meaningful stride at the Nun Run for the Senior Class of 2026 and Other Projects, set to take place on Saturday, February 7, 2026, in El Paso, TX. This inspiring 3.1-mile (5K) run and walk begins and concludes at the welcoming Loretto Academy, located at 1300 Hardaway. Participants can anticipate typical El Paso early February weather, with pleasant highs around 64°F and cool lows near 37°F, and a minimal 2% chance of precipitation, providing ideal conditions for a refreshing race day.

The Nun Run is more than just a race; it's a cherished annual tradition and a significant service-learning project for the Loretto Academy senior class. Proceeds from this event are dedicated to supporting the Sisters of Loretto in Pakistan, who champion vital initiatives such as operating St. Anthony School, empowering women through education and skills training via the LEWP program, and implementing sustainable solar panel projects. The race also benefits local charities and the Class of 2026's service-learning efforts.

Whether you choose to participate in person or virtually, you'll contribute to a profound cause while enjoying the community spirit. The event offers competitive 5K run and non-competitive 5K walk options, with trophies awarded to the overall top male and female finishers, and medals for the top three in various age groups. Early registrants will also receive a commemorative T-shirt. Packet pickup is conveniently available at Loretto Academy the day prior and on race morning, with parking accessible in the back of the school on Reynolds.
