Lace up your sneakers and join us for a powerful morning of movement, community, and cause at the 6th Annual SVH 5K Fun Run! Set against the scenic backdrop of Elephant Butte Lake, this uplifting event brings together runners, walkers, families, and supporters to raise awareness and funds in the fight against cancer. Whether you’re chasing a new PR or strolling in solidarity, every step makes a difference.
The race begins at the iconic Dirt Dam on the shores of Elephant Butte Lake—a sparkling jewel in southern New Mexico’s desert landscape. From there, participants will follow a flat and welcoming 5K course with views of the water, gentle terrain, and wide open skies. This course is ideal for all experience levels, from first-time 5Kers to seasoned runners looking for a scenic shakeout run.
