Virtual race to continue under new ownership
EL PASO, TX – Race El Paso and Liv3athletics announce the acquisition of Run the 915, the virtual race that has attracted thousands of El Pasoans and El Paso ex-pats since 2020. Race El Paso has produced triathlons and running events in El Paso since 2010. The organization debuted Run the 915 as a virtual running and walking event at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic to encourage El Pasoans and their friends and family members to stay active and connected. The event attracted over 1,000 participants in 2020 and has continued to motivate hundreds of participants every year since. The move expands Liv3athletics’ reach and bolsters its efforts to inspire running throughout the city.
“We are excited to pass this torch to Liv3athletics. They started as a club and have grown to offer much more to runners and triathletes across El Paso,” said Gabriela Gallegos, the President and founder of Race El Paso. “For the past 2 years, Liv3athletics has supported Race El Paso events, and we know they’ll continue to expand the event,” continued Gallegos.
“We are all about community, and taking over Run the 915 is an exciting next step for us ,” said Nancy Alcantar, co-founder of Liv3athletics. Liv3athletics, established in 2020, is a local running club and triathlon team dedicated to fostering an active lifestyle within the El Paso community. Operating seven days a week throughout the year, the club offers a variety of activities, most of which are free and open to all ages and skill levels. It also offers personalized programs to those interested in preparing for their first long-distance race or sprint triathlon.
Run the 915 is a team-based virtual event that takes place December 1 to 15 each year. Runners and walkers of all ages log their miles run and walked, contributing to their team goal of 915 or 91.5 miles.
