24-Hour and 12-Hour Adventure Races

Kopperl, TX

REGISTRATION OPEN

The Chisholm Trail is one of the most iconic cattle-driving routes in U.S. history. Racing along it means you're not just running, biking, or paddling—you’re moving through a living piece of American frontier history. That adds a deeper dimension to the challenge. Big Texas skies and sweeping views that make every checkpoint feel epic. It’s a landscape built for adventure, not monotony. Texas Pride Racing has designed a course for both the elite team looking to get the most out of a long course and perfect for the new teams wanting to get out to enjoy a first time adventure.
