Event overview
The 3 Chaparrals 3/6 Hour Trail Run takes place on March 28, 2026, in Palo Duro Canyon State Park near Canyon, Texas (11450 Park Road 5).

Course and logistics
The event uses a 4 mile loop - the Kiowa/Comanche Loop - with the start at the Mack Dick Pavilion. This is a trail race and portions of the course can be technical. Only fully completed loops count toward a participant’s recorded distance, and the final lap must be finished before the race end. There is an absolute cutoff 30 minutes before the end of each race, after which no new loops may be started.
There will be one aid station at the start/finish where participants may set up canopies or tents. The aid station will offer water, Hyperlyte Liquid Performance drink mix, cola, ginger ale, pickle juice, gels, and assorted sweet and salty snacks. This is a cupless event; participants must bring their own bottle, bladder, or cup. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
