2026 Resler Trail Race & Family Walk

About this event

For the 2nd time, we're hosting a Trail Race and Family walk to bring together runners, walkers, families, and nature lovers for a morning of fun, and connection to the land.

The goal of this event is to educate our community about the importance of preserving the land, show you the beautiful trails, and invite you to join us on other adventures we, The Frontera Land Alliance, host throughout the year.

This year, we remember Charlie Wakeem, who passed away in May. Charlie was a key founder of Frontera, and his hard work was instrumental in protecting the Wakeem-Teschner Nature Preserve at Resler Canyon. Charlie spent his time after retirement advocating open spaces in El Paso as he loved its natural beauty; especially its sunsets.
