Conquer the Canyon Trail Race

Known as "The Grand Canyon of Texas" this trail run will be hosted in the heart of Palo Dura Canyon on uncharted trails. There is so much rich history in the land that runners will be crossing in order to Conquer the Canyon. Members from the tribes of the Comanche and Kiowas once traversed the same trails that our participants will be adventuring through.

Merus Adventure Park, located in the Palo Duro Canyon offers huge elevation gains throughout the land. The base elevation at the rim of the canyon is 3,412 feet above sea level. The lowest point on the floor of the canyon at MERUS Adventure is 2,500 feet. Most of the elevation gains range from 100 to 500 feet in drop, creating ample opportunities for a challenging race course.

Millions of years of erosion have created incredible colors and a variety of surface materials. As you cover the miles, you’ll traverse sand, sandstone, red dirt, rock, stone, clay, and witness some of the most amazing views! Come to Merus Adventure Park and Conquer the Palo Duro Canyon!
