This long-standing race is officially now taking place on Labor Day Weekend each year to give everyone more time to enjoy the amenities and scenery.

While people are crossing the finish line, we will have an ongoing party of rookie trail runners, seasoned trail runners, hikers, joggers, mountain bikers, adventurists, and all our crews, friends, families, and new friends hanging out at one of the coolest adventure destination venues in the nation.  

Extra Fun Contests will take place Friday evening, and throughout Saturday and Sunday. Some of these will also happen along with a fun meal outdoors at one of the easy to get to, relaxing, and family-friendly spots around the main camp property. Prizes will be up for grabs, along with major bragging rights!

Extra Races and Opportunities to do Camp’s Activities will be sprinkled in between all that. Trail Running Biathlon, Mountain Bike Biathlon, King and Queen of the Hill, River Challenges, Zipline Target Toss, Texas Slowest Mountain Bike Race, and on and on…Nobody is going to get bored at this event!
