Fire Trail Running Festival
The Fire Trail Running Festival is a night trail running event organized by Texas Outlaw Running at Guadalupe River State Park, 3350 Park Rd 31, Spring Branch, TX. The race takes place on rocky and dirt single-track through grasslands and woodlands and is part of the Texas Summer Night Series.
Distances offered:
- 50K
- 50K Relay
- 25K
- 8K
- 8K Ruck
The course uses Barred Owl, Painted Bunting, and Live Oak trails and records a relatively flat elevation gain of 214 feet per loop. Historic average temperatures for the event range from 75 to 90 degrees. A headlamp is required for all participants. This is a no cup race; participants must bring their own water-carrying system.
Pacer rules allow only one pacer per runner and only during the final two loops of the 50K. Relay teams consist of two to six runners and share a single bib; use of a bib belt is highly recommended. Team members may run consecutive loops but must check in at the finish for each loop; registered names for teams remain as entered even if a substitute runs in place of a listed member.
Ruck entries have weight requirements: runners over 150 pounds carry 30 pounds, runners under 150 pounds carry 20 pounds. Race gear includes event shirts and medals, plus awards and finish patches; the event provides aid stations, course marking, photography, and volunteer support.
