Tough Trails. Texas Heat. River Reward.
Welcome to the Diablo del Desperado Trail Race, where the terrain is rugged, the temps are high, and the payoff is big. Held at the private Desperado Resort just outside of Boerne, TX, this is a trail running experience built for those who don’t back down from a challenge.
With 30K, 10K, and 5K options, the course takes you through rocky canyon paths, steep climbs, and gritty single track that winds deep into the heart of Texas Hill Country. And while there’s some shade along the way, you can expect plenty of exposure to that classic late-September Texas heat—hot, humid, and relentless.
But we’ve got your back: fully stocked aid stations will be placed throughout the course, offering cold water, electrolytes, fuel, first aid, and the support you need to battle the heat and keep moving forward.
Cross the finish line and you’re not done yet—take a jump into the Guadalupe River, just steps away from the finish, to cool down and celebrate your effort. Every participant receives a finisher’s medal and a race shirt, because if you conquer the Diablo del Desperado Trail Race, you’ve earned it.
🎟️ Spectators are welcome but must purchase a "Buddy Pass" for $10 before arriving, as Desperado Resort is private property.
This isn’t your average trail race—it’s a true Texas test. Sign up and see if you’ve got what it takes.
