Selling Out/Weather

Because of this, registration is capped, and once we’re sold out, no additional entries will be allowed. There will be no waitlist and no exceptions—what’s available now is all that will be available.
Per new Texas Parks and Wildlife Department regulation, if it rains on the day of the event, the race will be canceled by the park, this call is made by the TPWD Natural Resource Specialist. However, if it rains in the days leading up to the event, we’re still good to go.
