Energy City Race
About this race
THE ENERGY CITY HALF MARATHON/10K/5K/1K, IN IT'S 12TH YEAR, IS A DESTINATION EVENT FOR RUNNERS IN WEST TEXAS AND SURROUNDING STATES. HISTORICALLY, THE RACE ATTRACTED OVER 1,100 RUNNERS, AND IN 2026 WE AIM TO BREAK THAT RECORD.
THE ENERGY CITY EVENT IS HOSTED BY, AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF, THE CAMRON STOTTS FOUNDATION (A 501c3 ORGANIZATION BASED IN MIDLAND TEXAS). CAMRON BEGAN THE RACE IN 2015 TO BENEFIT RESTORATION FARM, A MINISTRY HE FOUNDED WITH HIS WIFE JAMI AND THEIR FOUR CHILDREN. IN 2018, CAMRON LOST HIS LIFE AT THE HANDS OF A DRUNK DRIVER WHILE CYCLING NEAR HIS HOME.
THE MISSION OF THE CS FOUNDATION IS TO HONOR THE MEMORY AND LEGACY OF CAMRON STOTTS, WHO TIRELESSLY AND SELFLESSLY SERVED OTHERS, BY CARRYING ON HIS SPIRIT AND SUPPORTING CAUSES NEAR TO HIS HEART. PROCEEDS RAISED WILL BE USED TO MAKE GRANTS TO LOCAL CHARITIES THAT ALIGN WITH CAMRON'S BELIEF THAT LIVES CAN BE INTENTIONALLY LIVED AND, WITH EFFORT, TRANSFORMED.

Pick your distance
Running
Half Marathon
Our Half Marathon Course is basically a pancake flat tour of most northern Midland neighborhoods. Four luxuriously equiped aid stations keep you refreshed as you uncomfortably tour Green Hill Terrace, Greathouse, Briarwood, and dang near all of Greentree.
10K Run
Our 10k course, some say, is longer than our 5k course spanning the neighborhoods of Greenhill Terrace, Greathouse, and the more mature Briarwood. Two aid stations will keep you refreshed along the course, but nothing fancy...just waters and gatorade.
5K Run
Our 5k course is flat and nasty (if the wind is blowing). Join us on ECR's shortest course distance through the quiet neighborhood of Green Hill Terrace. An aid station nestled near mile 2 will keep you going to reach your goal!
Kids Fun Run
Kiddos are welcome at ECR 2026!! Our fun run is an easy flat course around the Fasken Oil & Ranch office building (roughly 1k). Our registered fun runners receive a bag of goodies and a fun-run shirt. Parents can run with their kiddos and do not need a separate registration for the 1k.
