Franklin Mountains Trail Runs - January 21 - 24, 2027
The Franklin Mountains Trail Runs are a multi-distance trail event in El Paso, Texas, held within Franklin Mountains State Park (Tom Mays Unit off Transmountain Road). Routes ascend from the desert floor to the summit of North Franklin Peak and then circumnavigate the mountain back to the finish. From the summit participants can view mountain ranges in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, and scenery across the Mexico border.
North Franklin Peak reaches an elevation of 7,192 feet, about 3,000 feet above the city below. On the eastern flank of North Franklin Mountain lie the remnants of the nation’s only tin mining, milling, and smelting operation, active from 1910 through 1915.
The state park offers primitive camping without water. Registration for the 2027 event opens July 1, 2026. The event is organized by Wanderlust Running.
