FAQ

Texas Raptor Run 2026 takes place June 4–7 in the wide-open landscapes of West Texas, with activities at the Cibolo Creek Ranch.

Texas Raptor Run has always been a stationary event, designed to give participants a consistent home base while exploring some of the most scenic and remote terrain Texas has to offer. TRR 2026 continues that tradition with thoughtfully planned driving experiences, a strong community atmosphere, and optional premium accommodations for those who want an all-inclusive experience.

What to Expect

Purpose-Built Driving Experiences

Routes and drives are designed specifically for capable off-road vehicles, with an emphasis on:

  • Scenic off-pavement travel

  • Flowing terrain and confidence-building lines

  • Responsible driving and land stewardship

  • Exploration over competition

Participants drive at their own pace on a self-led, marked course during scheduled track times, allowing for flexibility and personal comfort.

Community & Atmosphere

One of the hallmarks of Texas Raptor Run is the people. TRR attracts a group that values:

  • Respectful driving

  • Shared experiences

  • Learning from one another

  • Enjoying the setting as much as the driving

Evenings are an important part of the event, offering time to relax, connect, and take in the West Texas landscape.

Why Cibolo Creek Ranch

Cibolo Creek Ranch provides access to less-traveled west Texas terrain and expansive views that highlight the scale and beauty of the region. Many of the routes see little regular off-road traffic, a literal 30,000 acre Raptor Playground.
