Cowboy 100 / 200 Race

The Cowboy 200 is a point-to-point 200-mile footrace along the beautiful Cowboy Trail in Nebraska. This course will be run on a non-technical, 100% runnable, crushed limestone path inaccessible to motor vehicles. There will be short paved sections when running through towns along the route. Runners will travel from Norfolk to Valentine on the Cowboy Trail, an old “rail-trail” consisting of crushed limestone trails. During their epic 200-mile adventure, runners will be immersed in nature and experience the beauty and solitude of the Nebraska back-country. Along this amazing journey, runners will see many ancient relics from the old railroad and pass through many quaint, history-filled towns’ still utilizing buildings and artifacts from the old railroad – including a water-powered gristmill and numerous old railroad depots scattered along the route. Some of the most famous and awe-inspiring structures along the Cowboy Trail are the former railway bridges in which runners will cross.
