Bastrop, United States of America · Monday 10 May 2027
Set in Bastrop, Texas, this May race takes place in the heart of piney woods country where the landscape rolls gently between tall trees and open sky. The area has a distinctly rural character, with the kind of quiet that comes from being away from major urban centers. Runners will experience the warmth of late spring in Texas, when the heat is building but the day still feels fresh in the early morning hours. The setting offers a genuine small-town race atmosphere where the focus stays on the running itself rather than the fanfare. The course itself is refreshingly straightforward. This is flat to gently rolling terrain, the kind of route where you won't be battling significant elevation but also won't get lulled into complacency. Expect the roads to be your primary surface, which means consistent footing and predictable pacing. The gentle variations in elevation mean there are no real climbs to dread and no steep descents to punish your quads on the way down. This is a course suited to runners looking for a solid effort without the complications that come from mountain marathons or heavily technical trails. The terrain should allow for steady, honest running from start to finish.
