Chupacabra 50
The Chupacabra 50 is a trail running event held at Copper Breaks State Park in Quanah, TX. Distances offered include:
- 50 Miler
- 54K
- 20K RUCK
- 20K
The routes use park trails and Bull Canyon with surfaces that vary from wide grass, rock, and sandstone to single-track dirt. The 50 mile course shows about 2500-foot elevation gain. Historic average temperatures for the event date range from about 43 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit.
Race logistics and services include aid station food and hydration, course marking, event photography, and volunteer support. Gear and awards listed by the organizer include a long sleeve race shirt, finisher medals for multiple distances, a 50 mile finisher silver buckle, and a Dead Freakin Last award for the 50 mile field. The 20K Ruck has a 25 pound minimum for ruck entrants. Only one pacer per runner is allowed, and pacers are permitted only in the last loop of the 54K and the last two loops of the 50 mile.
Entry pricing ranges roughly from $92.81 to $147.27 USD and registration is capped by park capacity with no waitlist. Per park regulation, if it rains on the day of the event the park may cancel and move the race to a backup course in Wichita Falls; rain in preceding days does not automatically change plans.
