Please read all the rules so you understand the event.

Race starts at 8:00 am ends at 6:00 pm

Chupacabra, in Latin American popular legend, a monstrous creature that attacks animals and consumes their blood. The name is derived from the Spanish words chupar (“to suck”) and cabra (“goat”) and can be translated as “goat-sucker.” As a fearsome but probably nonexistent creature, the chupacabra has been characterized as the southern equivalent of the Sasquatch.

This endurance event just might “chupar” the life of you. Please join us if you dare!

Runners receive a limited-edition t-shirt and a Chupacabra wooden medal.
