This race has it all and is right in Austin’s backyard. With over six miles of real trails surrounded by woods and streams, you will forget you are in the heart of one of the largest cities in Texas. The course features single tracks, rolling hills, fast downhills, and the Tejas Trails spirit. There’s nothing boring about it.
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!
While every racer will get some cool swag, February 9 is the deadline to get a shirt.

This race spans more than one sport — here’s a guide to each, so you can understand what’s involved and decide if it’s the right fit. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer’s event page.

Running off-road — dirt, singletrack, and mountain paths — from 5Ks to ultras. The terrain, not the pace, is the whole point.
