Franklin Mountains Trail Runs

Franklin Mountains Trail Runs is the 11th annual multi-distance trail race held in Franklin Mountains State Park, Tom Mays Unit, El Paso, Texas. Distances include 5k, 10k, Half Marathon, 30k, 55k, and a 12-Hour endurance event, plus the King/Queen of the Mountain adventure. Runners travel from the desert floor to the summit of North Franklin Peak (7,192 ft) and loop back, with panoramic views of surrounding states and the Mexican border. The rugged, mountainous course emphasizes endurance and terrain variety. Hosted by the Human Potential Running Series, it offers scenic trails, primitive camping nearby, and no on-site lodging; crown-worthy King/Queen finish and a color-coded loop system for the 12-Hour.
