USA: Great Santa Fee Trail Horse Race
Add Your Comments
The Great Santa Fe Trail Horse Race is an 800 mile endurance ride completed over a 13 day period. It is open to all breeds. The ride will start in Santa Fe, New Mexico on September 3, 2007 and end in Missouri on September 15, 2007.
One of the main objectives of the race is to educate the public not only on the national historic Santa Fe Trail, but also to introduce the sport of endurance riding to thousands.
One Hundred teams will spend each evening in the race village where over 100,000 spectators are expected to visit throughout the entire course of the event.
The riders will complete the specified distance for the day then stop and spend the night at the race village. Each rider’s time will be recorded, and accumulated for end of the race.
The rider with the shortest time overall will be declared the winner. In addition to an individual winner, team competition will exist.
Spectators are encouraged to turn out to greet the riders at “race villages,” which will be overnight stopping points for the riders and their horses.
