Answer the call of the Texas pines at the Cowboy YETI, a premier multi-distance trail challenge on Saturday, 17 January 2026, in the lush Bastrop State Park. Organized by Texas Outlaw Running, this event offers a 7K, 20K, 40K, 60K, and a rugged 100K, all on scenic dirt and rocky single-track loops featuring 800 feet of elevation gain per 20K circuit. As a key race in the coveted Texas Legends Series, it provides runners a chance to earn exclusive collectible medals and an engraved wood slab by completing multiple series events.
With staggered starts from 8:00 AM on January 17th, the race delivers a classic Outlaw experience: a cupless, well-marked course, hearty aid stations, and unique awards including buckles, patches, and even a Yeti cooler for the 100K champions. It's the perfect winter escape for Central Texas trail runners seeking a serious, festive, and beautifully rugged test in the heart of the Lost Pines.
