Colorado River Run
The Colorado River Run is a multi-distance trail event at McKinney Roughs Park in Cedar Creek, Texas, held along the Colorado River and surrounding trails. The event includes a range of distances to suit different goals and formats and is organized by Fit Foundation with Fitworks involvement for adaptive athletes.
Distances offered include:
- 250K
- 100 miles
- 50 miles
- 50K
- Marathon (26.2 miles)
- Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
- 10K (6.2 miles)
- 5K (3.1 miles)
The course runs on single-track trails, dirt paths, and occasional technical sections with river views, varied habitats, and moderate elevation changes. The event is fully supported with aid stations along the course; the main start/finish hub provides hot food, fruit, pickle juice, and cold drinks while on-course stations offer water and light supplies. The organizer highlights eco-friendly practices such as waste reduction and use of sustainable materials.
Ultramarathon pacer rules are specified: pacers are allowed for the 250K, 100 mile, and 50 mile events after designated miles, must register, sign a waiver, pay a fee, and meet age requirements. A dedicated ruck division uses the same half marathon trail with minimum pack weights, weigh-ins before start and at finish, and rules about secure dry weight and no handing off. An Exceptional Athlete division provides adapted and main course options, early starts, extended cutoffs, equal finisher medals, sweeper support, and free guides for adaptive athletes.
