Texas Raptor Run 2026
June 4–7 • West Texas
A purpose-built Ford Raptor driving experience set in the wide-open landscapes of West Texas, at the incredible Cibolo Creek Ranch.
Drive at your own pace while exploring less-traveled terrain and experiencing the incredible landscape that Cibolo Creek Ranch has to offer.
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 trail 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.
