EL PASO, TX –The El Paso Community Foundation is pleased to announce that the fifth edition of Run Internacional 10K is back after three years. The race begins at 8 a.m. Saturday, December 10 in El Paso, Texas, USA, routes across the border into Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico and ends on the top of the Paso del Norte bridge, just at the international boundary line between the two sister cities.

The U.S.- Mexico 10K is more than a race. It unites runners across two cities sharing a unique atmosphere of the border community and one region. The only U.S.- Mexico cross-border 10K run draws more than 1,000 runners from all over the world on a course that winds through the shared downtowns of El Paso and Ciudad Juárez and historical landmarks.

This year’s race has the powerful theme of “We Run as One.”

The race begins at the El Paso Community Foundation on Oregon Street in Downtown El Paso. It treks by Southwest University Park (home of the El Paso Chihuahuas baseball team and the Locomotives soccer team), runners will pass by many of the city’s beloved murals and the Consulate General of Mexico, then the route runs south to Segundo Barrio and crosses over the international boundary line on the Stanton Street bridge into Ciudad Juárez.

In Juarez, the route passes Juárez’s city hall; the Bullring-Plaza de Toros Alberto Balderas; the Old Customs House where the first U.S.-Mexico presidential meeting took place between William H. Taft and Porfirio Díaz in 1909, which now houses MUREF, the Mexican Revolution Museum; the Mercado Cuauhtémoc; Catedral de Ciudad Juárez; and the world-famous Kentucky Club. The finish line is at the international boundary line on top of the Paso del Norte International Bridge.

After the finish line, all runners can join the celebration and award ceremony back at the starting line on Oregon street, next to the San Jacinto Plaza.

“The 5th Run Internacional 10K is one of the most unique races in the Americas, with a purpose of not only uniting the people of these two wonderful cities of El Paso and Ciudad Juárez, but also showing our two nations how great our border region is. I invite runners from all over the world to get inspired and join us in celebrating our two countries in a special way,” said Mario Porras, Director Binational Affairs at El Paso Community Foundation.

“As the head of the Juárez’s City Council’s Commission for Binational Cities, it is important to support sporting events that involve both sides of the border,” Juárez City Representative Tania Maldonado stated. “This race shows us the unity among these two sister cities, and it allows us to use our downtown international bridges in a unique way. I am happy that our region will be celebrating this race again after 3 years of absence.”

Registration is $25 until December 3rd and it includes a race t-shirt and a finisher medal.
There will also be awards for the top three runners of each category.

40th ANNIVERSARY / 2022-2023 SEASON OF MUSICALS
Presents
THE MUSICAL PHENOMENON

THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW – LIVE ON STAGE!

October 7-23, 2022–Normal Dinner Theatre Performances (No Audience Participation).
October 28–31, 2022–Special “Audience Participation” Performances

Music, lyrics and book by Richard O’Brien. Most people are familiar with the film version of the story (The Rocky Horror Picture Show) which became a worldwide phenomenon through midnight movie showings, but El Paso has only once before been treated to The Rocky Horror Show – Live On Stage! when the UTEP Dinner Theatre premiered the show back in 2005 in a run that sold out every single performance (including 7 added shows). When their car breaks down, sweethearts Brad and Janet find themselves at the castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter (a sweet transvestite from the planet transsexual) who is performing diabolical experiments trying to create the perfect man. Mayhem ensues and every cliché from 1950’s Science Fiction movies is sent up, bent and twisted right up to the gloriously decadent and tacky finale. Come join that “sweet transvestite” and his motley crew as they do the “time warp” on the Dinner Theatre stage. Don’t dream it – Be it! Mature subject matter.

PLEASE NOTE!
ALL OF OUR PERFORMANCE START TIMES HAVE CHANGED THIS SEASON!
