Chupacabra Endurance 10-hour Run

Event Overview

Please read all the rules so you understand the event.

Race Times: Race starts at 8:00 am ends at 6:00 pm

Event Name: Chupacabra, in Latin American popular legend, a monstrous creature that attacks animals and consumes their blood. The name is derived from the Spanish words chupar (“to suck”) and cabra (“goat”) and can be translated as “goat-sucker.” As a fearsome but probably nonexistent creature, the chupacabra has been characterized as the southern equivalent of the Sasquatch.

This endurance event just might “chupar” the life of you. Please join us if you dare!

Swag: Runners receive a limited-edition t-shirt

Rules

• Loop Timing: We will start the clock every hour, you have one hour to finish that loop.
• Loop Length: The loop is about 4.1-mile length. Due to the storm damage that occurred on August 11, 2026 and we are unable to use the trail system in 2026. Our hope is that we will be back on the dirt trail system in 2027.
• Disqualification: If you don’t finish the loop in one hour you are OUSTED from the race!
• Final Loop: Save your strength as we determine winners by who runs the final loop the fastest.
