Rocky Raccoon 100 Trail Race
Rocky Raccoon 100 is an endurance trail event held at Huntsville State Park on February 6, 2027. Distances offered include:
- 100 mile (five 20 mile laps)
- 100K (one short 2 mile lap then three 20 mile laps)
- Youth 1 mile
The route runs on trails through a pine forest around a lake, crossing wooden bridges and passing through stands of East Texas pines. Surfaces are typically a bed of pine needles with gently undulating terrain and an approximate 1,250 feet of elevation gain per full lap. The course is extensively marked with tape, arrows, and confidence markers; navigation on race day is not expected to require a map.
Aid stations provide full support day and night; the event enforces a cupless policy so runners must carry their own cup or bottle. Drop bag procedures require separate bags for some stations and local access points make aid stations reachable for crews. Pacers are allowed after the runner completes 49 miles, with special allowances for participants aged 60 and older; pacers must register.
The 100 mile finish within 30 hours qualifies a runner to enter the Western States 100 lottery. Parking at the park is limited and crew access to aid stations is easiest by foot or bike. Leave No Trace practices are enforced, including no littering and packing out nonindigenous waste. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
