The 5K race course will highlight the new
sidewalks that the Texas Department of Transportation installed along Highway
54 at the request of Mayor Lucas and the Town of Van Horn; part of a campaign
to make our streets cleaner, prettier, and safer for community members,
tourists, and travelers.
The 10K race will also give you a taste of off-road
running in the Chihuahuan desert with breathtaking views of our local red
rocks (pre-cambrian sandstone) and the Beach Mountains.
Proceeds from the event will fund local scholarships given to graduating seniors who are continuing their education at a College, University, or trade school.
More information about the 5K and 10K are on our Texas Mountain Trail regional calendar, here.
