Texmas Trail Race
Texmas Trail Race is a multi-distance trail event held at Buescher State Park in Smithville, TX. The event offers a range of looped distances with a maximum field of 500 runners and packet pickup available the day before and on race morning at the start/finish area.
Distances include:
- 104k solo and 104k 4 man relay
- 57k
- 21 miles
- 14 miles
- 7 miles
- 1 mile
The course is a mix of narrow paths and single-track trails with smaller inclines and rocky sections. Each loop has approximately 450 feet of elevation gain and descent. Loop counts by event are provided by the organizer.
There are two full aid stations positioned along the course stocked with drinks, sodas, sweets, salty snacks, PBJ sandwiches, bean burrito rolls, fruit, savory evening foods, and basic medical supplies; NSAIDs are not available. The race operates cupless aid stations so participants should plan to carry reusable cups, bottles, or hydration packs. Drop bags are allowed only at the main aid station.
Pacers are permitted only for the 104k solo event after loop five and must sign a waiver and wear a pacing bib. Crew access is limited to the main aid station; crewing at the north aid station will result in disqualification.
Shirts are provided for all distances. Awards include finisher awards, top finishers by distance and category including male, female, and nonbinary, relay team awards, masters awards, and onsite medal engraving. Volunteer shifts include park entry, camping space, race merchandise, and meal, plus credit toward future race entries. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
