About the event
Embark on a thrilling journey through the historic Valley of Tears in Texas, a legendary land steeped in tales of endurance and survival. This rugged terrain, once the backdrop of dramatic historical events, now sets the stage for the ultimate test of grit.In the mid-1800s, this valley echoed with the poignant cries of families torn apart, earning its name from the heart-wrenching separations that occurred here. It was known for its challenging landscape that provided both refuge and trials. You will traverse these same paths, where every pedal stroke carries the legacy of survival and resilience. The Valley of Tears, with its undulating hills and unpredictable terrain, promises not just a race, but a historical adventure. Riders will battle against the elements, much like the valley's past inhabitants, and emerge stronger, echoing the indomitable spirit of the land. As you race through the scenic canyons and alongside the historic Quitaque Peaks, remember the stories etched into this land.
