Run Internacional: The US-Mexico 10K

Run Internacional: The US-Mexico 10K is a binational road race that starts at San Jacinto Plaza in downtown El Paso, Texas, runs 5K through the streets of El Paso, then crosses the international border into Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua via the Stanton-Lerdo International Bridge for a second 5K past Ciudad Juárez City Hall, the Plaza de Toros bullring, the Mexican Revolution Museum, the Misión de Guadalupe, and the Juárez Cathedral, before finishing at the international boundary line atop the Paso del Norte International Bridge. Founded in 2015 by the El Paso Community Foundation in partnership with the office of then-U.S. Representative Beto O'Rourke, the race was created as a celebration of the shared binational community that spans the two border cities, and has grown from roughly 800 runners at its debut to more than 3,000 for its 7th edition. Because the course crosses an international border on foot, participants must carry a valid WHTI-compliant travel document such as a passport, passport card, or SENTRI/Global Entry card; U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents do not need a Mexican visa. The 7th edition, originally set for November 2025, was postponed to January 17, 2026 due to a U.S. government shutdown; the 8th edition has not yet been scheduled but is expected to return to the race's traditional fall date.
