Everything Texas Ranch Run at Priefert Ranch
The Everything Texas Ranch Run returns to Priefert Ranch in Mount Pleasant on Saturday, September 19, 2026, with 5K and 15K trail races through open pasture, scattered oaks, and classic Texas ranch country. Just a few miles from the property.
On Saturday, September 19, 2026, the historic Priefert Ranch opens its gates for the Everything Texas Ranch Run, a trail race that sends runners across open pasture, through groves of oak trees, and along ranch roads that you would normally only see from a truck window. The event offers both a 5K and a 15K distance, with the 15K covering the full ranch landscape and the 5K taking a shorter loop through the ranch's most scenic terrain. Both races start at 8:00 AM.

The venue: Priefert Ranch
Priefert Ranch is one of the best-known properties in Titus County, a working ranch that has hosted everything from equestrian events to community gatherings. The race course takes advantage of the ranch's natural terrain: open pastures that stretch to the horizon, scattered post oaks and blackjack oaks, sandy loam soil underfoot, and the kind of wide Texas sky that makes a morning run feel like you are covering more ground than your legs are earning. The 15K route winds through the deeper parts of the ranch, while the 5K stays closer to the main ranch grounds. Both are genuine trail runs, not road races with a dirt shoulder.
Why this matters for the property
The Everything Texas Ranch Run takes place on a property that shares a lot of characteristics with the 8 acres on County Road 1070: open pasture, scattered trees, sandy loam and clay soil, a rural setting that feels connected to the land. The race is hosted by the Titus County Chamber of Commerce and draws participants from across the region, including runners who come for the landscape as much as the race itself. For anyone evaluating the property, it is worth knowing that within a ten-minute drive, you can run a trail race across a working Texas ranch, grab breakfast from a food vendor, and be back on County Road 1070 before lunch.
Getting there from the property
Priefert Ranch is on Marvin Priefert Highway, about ten minutes from County Road 1070 via US-271 and local roads. The drive is a straight shot through rural Titus County, and the ranch entrance is well-marked. Parking is available on site. For anyone staying at the property, this is an easy Saturday morning outing. Bring running shoes or just come for the food vendors and the view.
