Chisholm Trail Adventure Race
The Chisholm Trail Adventure Race is scheduled for March 27-28, 2026 in Kopperl, Texas (3351TX, 2169 TX-174, 76652). The event retraces parts of the historic Chisholm Trail and is described as the "Fourth Drive" up the trail. Most of the race activity will be located in the area near Lake Whitney, about 60 minutes south of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The event is sanctioned by USARA and ARWS.
