Whether you're a walker, runner, rucker, or just here for the fun & community, this event offers something for everyone.

You'll have a chance to meet our horses after the race (they'll be stationed along the trail too!) The event will feature a raffle, music, food, and local vendors to enjoy after the race. We can't wait for this race to become a beloved annual tradition for our community.

All proceeds support equine-assisted services for veterans & first responders at Healing with Horses Ranch, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing connection, healing, and hope through the power of the horse to the greater Austin area.
