Dress Code
We’re going full Daisy Duke meets Cowboy Up, so dust off those denim shorts, grab your cowboy hats, shine up those belt buckles, and if the fellas want to show up in chaps… well, we ain’t stoppin’ ya. This is a summer run with a whole lot of sass and a whole lot of country charm.
The Course
The course winds through the open ranch property and surrounding countryside, giving you that wide-open-spaces feeling while you kick up some dust and have a whole lot of fun doing it.

- First Place Runner: Fastest on the ranch earns a drink ticket — you ran hard, now sip easy.
- 10th Place Runner: Lucky number ten takes home a cowbell — because every ranch needs more cowbell.
- Last Place Runner: Our “Dead-Last Cowboy Award” goes to the final finisher, who’ll receive a roll of toilet paper… or at least the cardboard tube, since ya took so long, pardner.
