So, we created this trail running weekend in the outskirts of Burnet, at the beautiful Canyon of the Eagles LCRA Park, to give us an excuse to play together. All ages, ethnicities, backgrounds, and generations are invited to run and hike these trails at an awesome park, just outside the city, on the north shore of Lake Buchanan. This race is truly for everyone, with really generous cutoffs so you can hike for relaxing, or race competitively, or anything between. And we are especially challenging families to make a common goal to exercise together, to finish a race together, to play in the dirt together, to try something new together, and to come together to help complete this massively fun mosaic with others in our community! While every racer will get some cool swag, November 10 is the deadline to get a shirt. Click Here for Tejas Trails Policies (you really do want to know this stuff!)

If conditions turn unsafe, the event may be cancelled. Event changes and cancellations are at the discretion of the Race Director. We always strive to produce a full and safe sporting event, but sometimes the weather conditions can affect those plans. Considerable amount goes into planning a sporting event and we do so with the best intentions. Unfortunately, no one can control the weather and race directors are not the exceptions.

What Is OUTLAST? OUTLAST is a 6-hour, 12-hour, or 24-hour trail endurance challenge where runners complete a 5K every hour, on the hour. Each lap must be finished within the hour to stay in the event. If you finish early, you rest until the next round. Miss a lap, and you’re out. Complete all six or twelve, or twenty-four rounds, and you OUTLAST. This isn't just about speed — it's about pacing, discipline, and mental grit. Whether you're trying to survive all six or win your division, the challenge is the same: show up each hour, push your limits, and stay in it. Each course is trail-based, with natural terrain, elevation, and unpredictable conditions. You’ll have time between rounds to recover, refuel, and refocus — but not much. What You Earn: ​4 laps = “Grit Earned” patch 5 laps = “Survivor” patch 6 Hour Finisher = Premium “OUTLAST” 6-inch medal 12 Hour Finisher = Premium “OUTLAST ULTRA” 12-inch medal 24 Hour Finisher = Premium “OUTLAST ULTRA” buckle *You only receive the medal for the race you signup for* ​​All participants receive a premium OUTLAST Tee. Top male and female with the fastest combined 5K times at each event win the 1st Place OUTLAST award. Finishers are ranked on the world leaderboard—and the fastest runner across all OUTLAST 6-hour events (including the Championship) will be crowned World Champion and take home a cash prize of $1,000. The top 5 Male and Female 6-hour champions from each city will earn a spot in the Outlast World Championship in DFW December 4 2027, where they’ll compete against the best of the best at the end of the Tour, and the 1st-3rd place male and female winners of the Championship take home a cash prize, listed below. (This is separate from the world leaderboard prize money.) 1st place = $1,200 2nd place = $800 3rd place = $500 Frequently Asked Questions: Do I have to run all 6 laps? Nope. Run as many as you can. If you complete 4 or 5, you'll still earn a patch. Only those who finish all 6 get the OUTLAST medal and leaderboard ranking, finish 12 and get the OUTLAST ULTRA medal, finish 24 and get the OUTLAST ULTRA Buckle. What happens if I don’t finish a lap in time? You're out. The next lap starts at the top of the next hour, and only those who completed the last lap on time can continue. How is the race timed? Each 5K is timed individually. If you complete all 6, your combined time counts toward the local win and world leaderboard. Are these trail races or road? Every OUTLAST race is on trail terrain — dirt, rocks, roots, and elevation. Sometimes some pavement and gravel. Can I walk? Yes, as long as you finish the 5K within the hour. But some courses are rugged, and time can sneak up on you. Are there aid stations? Yes. There will be water, basic hydration, and snacks at the basecamp/loop start. This is a cupless event — bring your own bottle or hydration system. What should I bring? Trail shoes, hydration system, layers (weather dependent), fuel between laps, and grit. Can I setup a tent? Absolutely, bring your own aid station/tent setup. Is OUTLAST for beginners? Yes — if you're mentally tough. You don’t need to be fast, just consistent and ready to suffer a little. How do I win? If you finish all 6 laps and have the fastest combined time, you win your division (male/female). Winners are also added to the world leaderboard for a shot at the $1,000 national prize & title.

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help. View Race Course, Results, and Race Information on the US Road Running race page.

The courses wind along thick forests and descend out into open trails on the San Pablo Bay side of the park. Each race is relatively fast, with a nice punch of a climb beginning 1.5 miles into the course, leaving plenty of room to push it or just hike and enjoy the wild turkeys and sounds of the woods around you. China camp is a rare locale for a running race, so be sure not to miss this special event. Park Information: China Camp, Harry Barbier Memorial Park Start Times: 30K & Half – 8:30 AM 10K – 9:00 AM

Welcome to the 10th Annual Hope for Lillian Grace Reindeer Run 5k & 1 Mile Fun Run! This event goes to support Hope for Lillian Grace! Hope for Lillian Grace is a 501(c)(3) set up to benefit Lillian & Quinn Ball and their family as they continue their lifelong journey with Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD). Calling the past few years easy would be an understatement for the Ball family. Lillian Grace (9) received her much anticipated kidney transplant along with right kidney nephrectomy on May 11, 2021. Just shy of 4 weeks later, on June 7, 2021, Quinn Renee, the family's second ARPKD warrior, was born. Although Quinn did not have an extensive NICU stay like big sister, her ARPKD complications were in full force from day one. Those complications would ultimately land Quinn in Wolfson Children's Hospital on August 10, 2021. The primary side effect of ARPKD is hypertension; Quinn was diagnosed shortly after admission for hypertensive cardiomyopathy. She subsequently spent 51 days in Wolfson Children's Hospital CVICU where she worked her heart back to full strength. Year to date, Quinn has had two 911 calls, one transport to Wolfson, two extensive ICU stays, and regular weekly therapies to make up her development. Also during that time, Lillian endured countless transplant clinics in Gainesville and one hospital admission herself. The family has again endured a trying season of ARPKD and relies heavily on this annual event to help them offset costs from both the medical expenses as well as the peripheral expenses. Below are some highlighted costs that you help cover by participating! One month of oral medications for Quinn: $233.75 Syringes for both girls every 60 days: $71.92 Every Gainesville trip: $20-$30 gas Hospital/Appointment Meal for Jamie, Joe and Lillian: $30-$50 Ambulance Fees: $150 Lillian's Lab draws: $150 These are just a few costs that the family endures, even with medical insurance. So, you see, every bit helps! Whether you do the 1 mile fun run or walk/run the 5k, the family is beyond grateful for your ongoing love and support! Please come out and join us in supporting Hope for Lillian Grace! Thank you, and God bless.
