Lace up your trail shoes for the Run for the Range on January 31, 2026, a distinctive event hosted at the sprawling 1,500-acre private Fall Creek Ranch in Granbury, TX. This unique race offers participants a rare chance to traverse wide-open Texas landscapes, including rolling prairies, picturesque creek crossings, and rugged hills, all while contributing to a vital cause. The course primarily features dirt single-track and wide ranch roads with approximately 220 feet of elevation gain, providing a challenging yet rewarding trail experience best suited for runners comfortable with uneven terrain. Embrace the sweeping views and natural beauty that make every step worthwhile on this 100% un-paved course.
Choose your challenge from a Half Marathon (13.1M), 10K, or 5K distance, and experience the invigorating Texas winter air. Typical race day conditions in late January present highs around 59°F and lows near 32°F, with a minimal 7% chance of precipitation, creating ideal cool-weather running. This event stands out for its profound commitment to conservation; all proceeds benefit the Texas Agricultural Land Trust (TALT), directly supporting the preservation of Texas' working lands, water, and wildlife for future generations. Aid stations on the course will feature bulk water for refills, so runners are encouraged to bring their own bottles as part of the race's environmental stewardship.
The adventure culminates at the Fall Creek Ranch finish line (8220 Langdon Leake Ct, Granbury, TX 76049) with a true ranch-style celebration. Runners, families, and supporters can enjoy hearty Texas food, cold beer, and live music, fostering a vibrant and memorable post-race atmosphere.
