RUN THROUGH A LANDSCAPE WORTH PROTECTING

WHY TRAIL RUNNERS LOVE THIS COURSE

* Scenic trails winding through native prairie, woodlands, and creek corridors
* Rolling terrain that offers both challenge and beauty
* The chance to support Texas conservation while enjoying an unforgettable trail-running experience


ABOUT THE TEXAS AGRICULTURAL LAND TRUST

The Texas Agricultural Land Trust (TALT) conserves the Texas heritage of private working lands. Through voluntary conservation easements, TALT partners with landowners to protect the farms, ranches, water resources, wildlife habitat, and open spaces that sustain all Texans.

With more than 325,000 acres conserved across the state, TALT is helping ensure that the public benefits provided by private working lands continue for generations to come.

Your participation in Run for the Range directly supports this mission.



A SPECIAL THANK YOU

The Run for the Range would not be possible without the generosity of Kelly and Kristyn Langdon and the entire Langdon family.

By opening Fall Creek Ranch to runners and conservation supporters, they provide a rare opportunity to experience a working ranch that has been permanently protected through a conservation easement. Their commitment to the land ensures that the ranch's natural resources, wildlife habitat, scenic beauty, and agricultural heritage will remain intact for future generations.
