COURSE
The terrain for the course varies. One moment you're running in an open desert and the next you're running through the forest at the bottom of the canyon. It's a very fast course with a few technical sections. The terrain varies from grass, sandstone, to dirt and rocks. The weather is expected to be in the low 60s and mid-80s with an estimate of 10-20mph winds. West Texas weather is very unpredictable. Regardless of the weather conditions, we will continue to race unless life-threatening circumstances occur. We will send out emails as the event gets closer on weather conditions and what to expect. Trail gators are recommended.
This race is a cupless race so please come with your own water carrying system whether that's a running vest, camelback, or hand-held water bottles/cups. We do not tolerate littering. One of our biggest values is being environmentally friendly. Help keep the environment maintained to its natural state without hurting the animals and plants that live there.
Trail Markers
We will use orange ties and signs to mark the course. Signs with arrows will be used to show which trail to run on and ties will be used to let you know you're on the right path.
