Welcome to Hutto, TX, home of the hippos! We have partnered with the coolest people ever, founders of the Hippo Social Club and Patriot Sports & Fitness to bring to you the Hippo Trail Fest! They are welcoming us into their fitness and well-being facility, which happens to sit on the edge of their beautiful, wooded, rolling trail system in their backyard. You can expect a lot of extra fun surrounding this trail party! The Hippo Social Club will have their amenities open to all racers and spectators, including mobility and stretching resources, cold plunge pools, sauna, games, and some great pre- and post-race food, drinks, and fun to enjoy!
While every racer will get some cool swag, February 23rd is the deadline to get a shirt.
During registration, we are collecting $10 for the land use fee.

About These Sports
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.
Trail Running
Running off-road — dirt, singletrack, and mountain paths — from 5Ks to ultras. The terrain makes for an exciting twist and adventure in your running journey.
Obstacle Course Racing
Obstacle course races (OCR) combine running over different terrain with a series of physical obstacles — walls, rope climbs, monkey bars, carries, and crawls. The barrier to entry is lower than it looks.
Rucking
Covering a distance on foot under a weighted rucksack — from timed solo challenges to longer team events.
Running
From 5K to marathon, running races are an accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
