Lace up for the VICTORY FOR LIFE, a truly inspiring event taking place on Saturday, February 28, 2026, in beautiful El Paso, Texas. Kicking off at 8:00 AM MST from Album Park, this race offers both a 5K (3.1M) Run/Walk and a 1 Mile Fun Walk/Run, making it perfect for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. Participants are encouraged to wear yellow to show their support for Sarcoma (DSRCT) Awareness, as the event uniquely honors the enduring legacy of Victor, a courageous warrior whose strength and compassion continue to inspire.

Runners can anticipate favorable conditions, with typical race day highs around 68°F and lows around 42°F, accompanied by a mere 1% chance of precipitation, providing an ideal climate for personal bests or a comfortable stroll through Album Park. The course, situated within the scenic park, is generally flat, offering an accessible and enjoyable experience for everyone. This spirited event is more than just a race; it's a community gathering dedicated to making a difference, with all proceeds benefiting the vital work of the Rio Grande Cancer Foundation.

Beyond the personal challenge, VICTORY FOR LIFE celebrates achievement with trophies awarded to the overall male and female 5K winners, and medals for the top three finishers in various 5K age categories, ranging from 9 and under to 70 and over. The first 200 entrants will also receive a special race shirt, adding a memorable keepsake to their experience. Packet pick-up will be held on February 27th at Up and Running (3233 N Mesa Ste 205, El Paso, TX 79902), followed by fun post-race activities to celebrate your accomplishment and the collective spirit of hope.
