IRON Horse - TX

IRON Horse - TX is a trail ultra weekend in Farmersville, Texas, on January 2, 2027, organized by Texas Outlaw Running. Three formats are on offer: a 200-mile, a 100-mile and a 100K (62 miles). Start times were not published at the time of listing.

This lineup is built for runners who already have ultra experience. The 100K is the most approachable of the three and a reasonable step up from a 50-miler; the 100-mile is the classic buckle distance; and the 200-mile places you squarely in multi-day territory, with sleep strategy and crew logistics becoming as important as fitness. Early January timing means the bulk of your training happens through the fall, so a 20- to 24-week build with back-to-back long runs and at least one overnight run is a sensible plan for the longer options. For the 100K, a 16-week program peaking around 30 miles in a single long run will do. Whichever distance you choose, rehearse your fueling and pacing on similar terrain before you toe the line.
