Wolf Moon Stampede: Trail Running Under January's Full Moon

Breath hanging in crisp winter air. Stars overhead. A full moon lighting your path through Texas hill country. This isn't just another trail race – it's a night running adventure unlike any other.

Join us for the Wolf Moon Stampede Races, featuring two unique challenges: cruise through the 8-hour Wolf Moon Stampede, where each loop brings a new moonlit discovery, or join Wolf Moon's Last Stand, our twist on the last-person-standing format where the night belongs to the bold. Out here, strangers become friends and every finish line feels like a victory.
