LAS CRUCES - Visit Las Cruces, in conjunction with Athletics Race Management, is launching a new event for 2020 called the Las Cruces Half taking place Saturday, Jan. 4, 2020, and starting at Field of Dreams, 2300 Tashiro Drive.

The race will feature foot races at three distances: half marathon (13.1 miles), 5k (3.1 miles), and a one-mile fun run. Registration for the races range from $10 to $70 in advance. The first 150 registrants will receive a commemorative T-shirt. Registration is ongoing until Jan. 2 at https://ift.tt/395VQzp and day-of registration will begin at 9 a.m. Jan. 4 at the Field of Dreams.

Cutoff for registration for the half marathon will be 10:45 a.m. and the race will begin at 11 a.m., followed by the 5k, and the one-mile run. The half marathon and 5k races take runners along the La Llorona trail and both are out-and-back. The one-mile run takes participants around the Field of Dreams complex and Motel Boulevard. Race maps are available on the website mentioned above. Awards in the 5k and half marathon include top 3 in male and female categories. The one-mile run awards will be top 3 overall in two categories: 14 and under and 15 and up.

“The goal of the Las Cruces Half is to jumpstart a new running event in Las Cruces,” Ed Carnathan, Visit Las Cruces Sports Sales Manager said. “If everything goes well with the inaugural event on Jan. 4, we hope to have a full marathon for the 2021 season.”
