2026 Hell of the North Texas

Hell of the North TexasThey have Cobblestones. We have the NETT. Inspired by the most legendary one-day race in the world—Paris-Roubaix (aka "The Hell of the North")—we bring you a Texas-sized tribute rooted in our very own Paris. Staging from Paris, Texas, this event utilizes significant segments of the Northeast Texas Trail (NETT) between Clarksville and Roxton, combined with the rugged county roads that crisscross the region.
