This race is made possible by the great work of Great Springs Project. Don’t know what that is yet? Check out this link or just come to the race to learn how the Edwards Aquifer beneath these trails is crucial for providing sustainable clean water to our growing cities. We are incredibly proud to support their impressive efforts through this trail race!

The race features a gorgeous and well-marked 7.8 mile loop, mostly shaded, bobbing and weaving near the shoreline with a good bit of technical trails. We will have a full on aid station party around the halfway point of the loop, stocked with more than ample food, drinks, and ice. There will also be additional water and ice stations between those points to help keep you cooled off and having fun. The 25K will do two full loops. The 50K will do 4 full loops. The 10K will shortcut off the full loop to get your distance right on 6.2 miles. The 5K will have a well-marked turn to get you back to the finish line around 3.1 miles.
