Fire Trail Running Festival
The Fire Trail Running Festival is a night trail running event held at Guadalupe River State Park in Spring Branch, TX. The festival offers multiple race distances on rocky and dirt single-track trails that pass through grasslands and woodlands on the Barred Owl, Painted Bunting, and Live Oak trails. The course features a relatively flat elevation gain of about 214 ft per loop and historic average temperatures between 75 and 90 degrees.
Distances offered:
- 50K
- 50K Relay
- 25K
- 8K
- 8K Ruck
This event includes aid stations with food and hydration, a fully marked and supported course, photography, and volunteer support. It is a no-cup race, so runners must bring their own water-carrying system. Headlamps are required for all participants. Relay teams may include 2 to 6 runners and share one bib for exchanges. Pacers are limited to one per runner and are allowed only in the last two loops of the 50K.
The 8K Ruck has weight requirements: runners over 150 lb carry 30 lb, runners under 150 lb carry 20 lb. Participants receive event apparel and collectible medals, and there are awards for top finishers and special recognitions, including DFL awards and relay trophies.
