Description

Get ready to hit the trail and support a great cause at The Cattle Drive 5K, brought to you by the Plowboy 100 Club! 🐄👟 Join us on March 21 on the beautiful Tarleton State University campus in Stephenville, Texas for a community-wide 5K run/walk that’s fun for all ages — from seasoned runners to families with little ones. This spirited event isn’t just about the run — it’s a benefit for the Tarleton State Plowboys, one of the university’s oldest and most dedicated spirit organizations. Known for sporting cowboy hats, white shirts, and purple chaps, the Plowboys bring energy and pride to athletic events, campus traditions, and community activities year-round. They’re famous for supporting Tarleton Texans at games and rallies and helping build and light the enormous L.V. Risinger Bonfire each homecoming season — all while giving back through service and school spirit. Whether you’re racing for a new personal best, walking with friends, or cheering on family members, The Cattle Drive 5K is a perfect way to celebrate community, support student-led tradition, and enjoy a morning of fitness and fun. Lace up, bring your cowboy spirit, and let’s make this year’s run one to remember! 🐂
