Sky Island Race
September 26th 2026
Fort Davis, TX
50 KM
Come run one of the most scenic, rugged mountain ranges in Texas. Ever needed an excuse to attend the McDonald Observatory star party, visit Marfa, and take a dip in Balmorea Springs? Now is your chance to pair all of that up with a 50k or 25k in The Davis Mountains! Imagine running a dozen switchbacks to get you up to a ridge, then blazing along a rim with 360 views, and flying down a long, slow descent. These trails are technical and prove to be quite the challenge. We will have a memorable party at the finish line, like Spectrum Trail Races always do!
