Ranch Run

Embark on an unforgettable adventure at Priefert Ranch in Mount Pleasant for the annual trail race scheduled on September 19, 2026. The day promises excitement with both a 5K and a challenging 15K course set to start at dawn.
The 5K event takes runners along scenic gravel roads within the sprawling ranch grounds. Participants will not only enjoy the natural beauty but also receive a free shirt, breakfast, and race bag upon completion. Top three finishers in each age category for both men and women will be awarded medals, celebrating their achievements with pride.
For those seeking an extra challenge, the 15K course offers more rugged terrain including pastures and uneven surfaces, adding to its allure. Every competitor here is guaranteed a medal at the finish line, alongside complimentary breakfast and race gear. The top male and female runners in each age group will also be recognized with special awards.
In addition to individual races, teams of corporate colleagues can participate in the 5K Corporate Challenge. Teams must consist of at least three actively employed members from the same business. Winners are determined by the combined time of their fastest trio, earning them a prestigious traveling trophy and bragging rights among local businesses.
The day's festivities also include a fun-filled Kids' Mutton Buster race for children aged 5 to 12. This un-timed dash through the ranch grounds ensures that every young participant receives a t-shirt and finisher medal as they sprint across the line, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Before or after your run, enjoy inflatables designed specifically for kids, adding an element of joy and playfulness to this family-friendly event. Whether you're racing solo or part of a team, Priefert Ranch offers something special for all participants, from breathtaking scenery to warm hospitality.
Participants are reminded that the race course must be followed carefully; while organizers provide guidance through markings and volunteers, it is ultimately each runner's responsibility to stay on track. No refunds will be given due to navigation errors or missed turns during the event.
Join us at Priefert Ranch for a day filled with competition, camaraderie, and celebration of trail running excellence.
Enjoy your race and embrace the unique charm of this legendary ranch setting.
