Austin County CattleWomen Ranch Run

Austin County CattleWomen Ranch Run takes place in Cat Spring, Texas, on October 31, 2026, with three staggered starts. The 10K goes first at 8 a.m., the 5K follows at 8:30 a.m. over 3.1 miles, and the 1 Mile closes the morning at 9 a.m.

Staggering the starts half an hour apart means a family can spread across the distances and still finish within a short window of one another. The 10K is the one that asks for real preparation, ideally eight to twelve weeks of running with a weekly long run of five or six miles behind you. The 5K suits anyone running a few times a week, and the mile is short enough for children or complete beginners. An 8 a.m. start keeps the Texas heat manageable.
