50 Mile Trail Race - 7am • Trail Marathon/Half-Marathon - 8am
LBJ National Grasslands, Near Decatur, Texas
The start and finish line are central in the cloverleaf trail pattern. 50-mile entrants will cover all four different trail loops accessing the central aid station and drop bag location at the completion of each loop. The marathon and half will start with an out and back. Marathon entrants then run two different trail loops, and the half is routed on a single loop course.
The conditions are rolling, single-track horse trails and dirt jeep roads. Depending on weather the trails can be muddy with some water crossings, or dry and sandy. Oak and Pine groves mix with prairie and pasture. Trail markings are color-coded each loop as blazes, painted horseshoes, markers and ribbons.
Aid stations will be located approximately every 3-4 miles and will include SUCCEED! electrolyte drink. The start/finish area aid station is for 50 mile runners only. There is no drinking water source in the LBJ National Grasslands. All entrants are encouraged to carry sport bottles for refill at aid stations and at the start/finish area. Bring chairs and coolers to enjoy the post race Bar BQ, free to runners and available for purchase to spectators. There is primitive camping at the start area. Call 940-627-5475 for park info. Lodging is fifteen miles away in Decatur at the Ramada Limited 940-627-6262 and many more.
RaceReady trail shirts to all entrants and volunteers! Completion medals will be presented as runners finish. 50 mile finishers will receive belt buckles! Walkers are encouraged in the Half Marathon. Dogs welcome on leash. 5:30PM is the cutoff for 50 mile runners to complete loop three, 39.3 miles. Pacers welcome after the second loop.
