Gear up for an unforgettable adventure at the Angry Cow Trail Run #3, set to challenge runners on Saturday, October 10, 2026, in scenic Lincoln, NE. As the third installment in the popular Angry Cow Series, this event offers a welcoming and well-organized experience for trail enthusiasts of all levels. Choose your challenge from three distances: a spirited 3-mile dash, a robust 6-mile journey, or the enduring 12-mile trek. The course at Pawnee Lake will feature a 3-mile out-and-back format from the Area 1 Beach, guiding runners along engaging trails that promise scenic views and rolling hills.

Participants consistently praise the Angry Cow Trail Run events for their clearly marked and challenging, yet not overly technical, courses. Runners can expect trails with natural surfaces and a covering of leaves, offering an authentic trail running experience without an abundance of sharp rocks or narrow paths. Typical race day conditions in early October offer pleasant temperatures, with highs around 68F and lows near 43F, and only a 10% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

Beyond the beautiful course, the Angry Cow Trail Run #3 distinguishes itself with a focus on runner satisfaction. Your registration includes high-quality swag such as a long-sleeve shirt and a distinctive medal, often noted for its substantial, double-sided wooden design. Aid stations are well-stocked with snacks and drinks to keep you energized, and the post-race celebration is enhanced by a welcoming crew and delicious homemade treats, including cookies and pumpkin bars. This event, known for being a "trail run done right," guarantees a rewarding experience from start to finish.
