Cactus Rose Endurance Trail Race

Race Info

RACE DATES: OCTOBER 23-25, 2026

No whiners, wimps, or wusses. This is a rugged trail running race that was designed to test runners. The course can go by quickly because of it's picturesque views; technical climbs and descents; and fun terrain. But be careful looking at the scenery too long, you might end up face first in a cactus.

Please understand this race does not have our usual full spread aid stations and volunteers...on purpose. We have medical staff, but you are required to be able to handle your own needs out on the course. People asked for a tough race, so Tejas Trails made it happen. Enjoy!

Cactus Rose is capped at 500 total runners for all distances. While every racer will get some cool swag, September 29 is the deadline to get a shirt.
