Running 505 events are more than races — they're fundraisers that fuel free programming for Albuquerque youth. Every entry, every mile, every dollar keeps kids running.The following events are sanctioned races for youth and adults and are fundraisers benefitting Running 505. THESE are for all ages, not limited to Running 505 kids. They are sanctioned race events.
Every Event Is a Fundraiser —Running 505 programs are free for all families — and events like these are how we keep it that way. When you register, race, or donate, you're directly funding shoes, gear, mentorship, and experiences for Albuquerque kids who deserve every bit of it.
One mile. Four brutal legs. Zero shortcuts.
This isn't your average fun run. The Toughest Mile is a four-leg gauntlet that will test your grit, your lungs, and your sense of humor. Every leg is 400 meters — and none of them are easy.

Swim. Bike. Run. Your way. Your pace. One month.
Do the 505 is a virtual multi-sport challenge — swim, bike, and/or run your way to the finish line over the course of one month. Go solo or build a team. Do each discipline separately or all of them, in any order. No pressure, no clock, just movement.

Hit the trails at the Pecos with three distance options and three ways to tackle them. Whether you're racing for time, rucking with weight, or hiking for the views — this one's for everyone.
