Race Information
On a fall weekend in West Texas, a little race called Sky Island takes place. Gather to test yourself on rugged mile-high trail and celebrate under the brightest stars, because at the end of the day…. nothing else matters. This race course boasts views of Fort Davis, McDonald Observatories, Indian Lodge, and a seemingly endless sky. Sky Island was created in 2015 with one goal: to bring trail runners out to play in the mountains. It feels like summer camp, a place to gather every fall, in the middle of the high, west Texas desert.
