To celebrate the opening of the biggest, baddest Zipline in Texas we are also going bigger and badder with the new 36 hour Adventure course! All new courses this year with all the things you have come to
expect from us and from Camp Eagle...tough
as nails race, awesome shwagg, cool special tests, and more. The race
will happen rain, sleet, or shine, so be prepared for any type of
weather. If you need air conditioned housing we highly recommend you
reserve that soon because this is a very popular race. Lodging reservations open on January 8, 2013.
Can't hang for 36 hours? Choose the sprint race or the 12 hour option instead. Make
sure to bring the whole family and stay for all the weekend activities;
