Ladies from various walks of life and running speeds have geared up in their running shoes to join the newest running crew in El Paso, known as Girls Run the 915. The running group was born from a mission to empower women on their running paths.

Arianne Ontiveros and Daniela Carrillo are the co-founders of Girls Run the 915. It began as a passion project to fill the gap of women running in El Paso.

“We noticed that a lot of women in El Paso didn’t really have people to run with or were too scared to start,” Ontiveros said.
