About the Sky Island
The Sky Island trail race takes runners through the mountains around Fort Davis on single-track trails that earn their reputation. The terrain is demanding, with the kind of elevation and technical footing you expect from West Texas high country. It is a honest day out in a remote stretch of the state that does not get nearly enough foot traffic.
