About the race
Cowboy 100 is a point-to-point 100 mile trail race held on April 17, 2027, organized by Ultraverse Supplements. The route runs from Valentine, NE to Atkinson, NE along the Cowboy Trail, an old rail-trail made of crushed limestone. The course is described as non-technical, 100% runnable and extraordinarily flat. Runners traverse open rail-trail terrain and the event emphasizes long sections immersed in Nebraska back-country.
The exact route is subject to change with trail closures or maintenance. For 2027 the 100 mile race runs the second half of the former Cowboy 200 in reverse, and finishers will receive a new buckle design for this separated race. Course records from the original Cowboy 100 will not transfer to the new course. The race field is capped at 150 runners. Planned full aid stations are listed at Arabia, Wood Lake, Johnstown, Ainsworth, Long Pine, Bassett, and Stuart, bringing the average distance between aid to about 14 miles.
Additional details include live GPS tracking by Legends Tracking USA, a generous 34 hour cutoff, a shuttle option for uncrewed runners, and a non repetitive point to point format. Entry terms note no refunds and no bib transfers. Deferral credit is available on set timelines and credits attach to the entrant's UltraSignup account. Registration closes March 22 at 11:59 PM CT.
