2023 Regional Trail Race Guide

Por Greg Sisengrath

19 de December de 2022

This 2023 race guide will mostly focus on trail races in the Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma region, as well as a few of my personal favorites in other states. I'll also try add destination races that I know "locals" will be racing this year. If you see any errors that need to be corrected or know of a race that should be added, please feel free to let me know via email. If you are a race director and you want to feature or highlight one of your races, please reach out to me via email.
