Rocky Raccoon got so big a few years ago we ended up splitting the 50 mile and 50km distances onto the following weekend. We also have a half marathon now! So now the Rocky 50 Trail Race Is a stand alone event. If you want to run your first ultra, or you want to run a really fast and scenic trail race, this is your course. Just enough change in elevation to be considered a real trail run, lots of exposed tree roots, beautiful pine trees with their needles nestled under your feet, cool bridges, a gorgeous east Texas lake, wildlife, and a wonderful set of aid stations and volunteers.
While every racer will get some cool swag, January 5 is the deadline to get a shirt. If you register after January 5, you will get some cool Race Swag! This could be a variety of items like a trucker cap, neck gaiter, etc. It will be a cool Swag Item!
