Colorado River Trail Run
The event takes place along the Colorado River at McKinney Roughs Park in Cedar Creek, Texas. It offers a range of supported trail and road distances that run through riverbanks, single-track trails, dirt paths, and occasional technical sections with moderate elevation changes.

- 100K
- 50 Miles
- 50K
- Marathon (26.2 miles)
- Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
- Half-Marathon Ruck
- 10K

- Kids run options
Course support features fully stocked aid stations providing hydration, nutrition, and medical assistance. Finisher medals are awarded for all distances and buckles are provided for ultra distances; a single 250K finish also qualifies for the Rio Colorado Ultra Slam buckle.
Pacer rules apply for selected ultra distances with age and registration requirements, a nominal fee, and limits on when pacers may join on course. The ruck division covers the same half marathon course with its own scoring and awards. Ruck rules require a dry minimum pack weight (20 lb or 30 lb depending on body weight), weigh-ins before and after the race, and that the pack remain carried by the participant.
The event is organized in partnership with a local youth running series and some proceeds support youth running programs. Volunteer roles include course marshals and aid station support; volunteers receive a race shirt, snacks, community service hours, and future race credit.
