Cowboy Tough Adventure Race
Cowboy Tough takes place at Curt Gowdy State Park near Cheyenne, Wyoming. The event uses a rogaine-style format in which teams choose routes, prioritize checkpoints, and may skip optional sections to maximize points.
The race features three disciplines: mountain biking, trekking, and paddling, with trek-only options available. Course terrain includes mountain ridges, granite outcroppings, high plains, technical singletrack, and paddling sections. The setting is described as scenic with cool summer temperatures.
Event formats and team sizes include:
- 8 Hour events available for solo and teams up to four
- 50 Hour events available for solo and teams up to four
The event is part of several series: USARA Race Series, Rocky Mountain Adventure Race Series, and ARWS North American Series. Organizers describe the course as one that rewards navigation, team decision making, and varied race strategies. The format allows competitive teams to pursue many checkpoints while giving developing teams options to scale effort and focus on navigation and teamwork.
