Early Bird start wave
Join the "Early Bird" start wave and begin your race at 7 a.m., giving you an extra hour on the course. The caveat: the "Early Bird" wave is only for runners who require the extra time to finish within the course limits, not for faster runners who wish to complete the course earlier.
(not eligible for awards) The first few aid stations along the course may not be set up when you arrive, so you must plan accordingly.
The "EB" start is for runners/walkers needing extra time to finish, not for earlier flights or early engagements.
You MUST register for the "Early Bird" wave in advance by emailing your request to [email protected]

City insight: Las Cruces
Las Cruces is a city in Doña Ana County, New Mexico, United States, and its county seat. It is the second-most populous city in New Mexico and the largest in southern New Mexico, with the Organ Mountains rising about 10 miles to its east. The high desert climate brings very hot summers and mild winters, so early spring and late autumn are the best seasons to race.
