TOUGH TRAILS. TEXAS HEAT. RIVER REWARD.

Welcome to the Diablo del Desperado Trail Race, where the terrain is rugged, the temps are high, and the payoff is big. Held at the private Desperado Resort just outside of Boerne, TX, this is a trail running experience built for those who dont back down from a challenge.

With 30K, 10K, and 5K options, the course takes you through rocky canyon paths, steep climbs, and gritty single-track that winds deep into the heart of Texas Hill Country. And while theres some shade along the way, you can expect plenty of exposure to that classic late-September Texas heathot, humid, and relentless.

Course maps: Please note there may be some slight variances on the route due to slight changes made due to flooding along the river.

10k/30k- https://www.plotaroute.com/route/2955647?units=miles The 30k will be 3 loops of the 10k course.

5k- https://www.plotaroute.com/route/2918484?units=miles

For the ruck, participants weighing under 150lbs packs must weigh 20lbs or more. For participants weighing 150lbs or more packs must weigh 30lbs or more.

Course cut off is 7 hours. This is a 22.5 minute mile.

Weve got you covered with fully stocked aid stations will be placed throughout the course, offering cold water, electrolytes, fuel, first aid, and the support you need to battle the heat and keep moving forward. 5k runners will hit one aid station while the 10k will hit two and the 30k will hit those two aid stations 3 times. although there will be water/electrolytes on course, I highly recommend that you carry water and electrolytes with you to ensure you stay hydrated in the heat.

Cross the finish line and youre not done yettake a jump into the Guadalupe River, just steps away from the finish, to cool down and celebrate your effort. Every participant receives a finishers medal and a race shirt, because if you conquer the Diablo del Desperado Trail Race, youve earned it.
