About
The 41st Annual Palo Duro Trail Run, held in mid-October at Palo Duro Canyon State Park, features 50-mile, 50K, and 25K distances on rolling singletrack, sand, and rock with steep ascents and descents. The event is known for challenging terrain and robust aid stations.
Catering & aid stations
Four fully stocked aid stations offer water, soda, pickle juice, Hyperlyte Liquid Performance, and a variety of sweet and salty snacks including candy, chips, boiled salted potatoes, and PB&J. This is a cupless race—athletes must carry their own hydration system and cups for pickups.
Pacers
Pacemakers will be present with flagging for the 50-mile and 50K starting at 6:30 am and the 25K at 7:20 am. Pacers run with their flag to help participants maintain target effort.
