New in 2026, Quanah Hill Uprising will now be 2 days full of racing in Weatherford Texas.

It's a bold move, only a few will be able to withstand the fatigue. Even fewer will be able to make the lap times required to turn 8 full laps in 6 hours. But for those that can meet the challenge your reward will be great. The top 10 finishers to complete the Mile High Challenge will receive their names in the record books alongside their completion time, plus a finishers belt buckle commemorating the achievement.
All registered attendees will receive a complimentary race souvenir, but only the top 10 who complete the full Mile High challenge will be rewarded with a very unique Quanah Hill Uprising Mile High Challenge belt buckle.
