Cowboy 100 : April 17, 2027, Valentine to Atkinson, NE
The Cowboy 100 is a 100-mile point-to-point trail race held on April 17, 2027. The route runs on the Cowboy Trail, an old rail-trail made of crushed limestone that is off-limits to automobiles. The course travels from Valentine to Atkinson and follows the second half of the Cowboy 200 course in reverse. Because the route is technically new for 2027, previous Cowboy 100 course records will not transfer.
The trail is described as non-technical, 100% runnable, and extraordinarily flat. Planned full aid stations are scheduled at Arabia, Wood Lake, Johnstown, Ainsworth, Long Pine, Bassett, and Stuart, which reduces the average distance between aid to about 14 miles. Live GPS tracking will be provided by Legends Tracking USA. The race is capped at 150 runners.
Time and entry details include a generous 34-hour cutoff and an entry price listed at USD 430.83. Registration closes on March 22 at 11:59 PM CT. The event has a no refund and no bib transfer policy. Entrants may defer according to the published schedule: 100 percent credit if deferred at least three months prior, 75 percent at least two months prior, 50 percent at least one month prior, and no deferrals after March 17.
The race offers a shuttle option for uncrewed runners and will publish a runners manual and aid station information before the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
