We Run So They Can RIDE!
Starting in 2018, runners can raise money and/or awareness for a HETRA participant. It is simple to help raise awareness or money. We will provide each runner with a link to a HETRA participants “DRIVE TO RIDE” campaign, and while you train, we ask that you share your training success and the participants “DRIVE TO RIDE” page. By helping the HETRA participant raise money and/or awareness we are helping all the HETRA participants ride throughout the year.

The Course
Skyline Ranches trails are mainly grassy and run through both beautiful forested areas and magnificent horse ranches. There are very challenging hills and fast flats. The trail is wide enough to accommodate many runners at the same time and very well marked to ensure no one gets lost.
