Big Tex Backyard Ultra, hosted by Trail Racing Over Texas, takes place at Stephen F. Austin State Park in San Felipe, Texas, near Houston. The event uses a Last Runner Standing Backyard Ultra format: a 4.17-mile yard starts each hour, with runners continually progressing until only one remains.

The park’s wide, crushed-gravel trails offer minimal elevation gain, and participants can establish personal aid and crew areas around the Start/Finish shelter, with camping and RV hookups nearby. Runners receive a hoodie and a customized poster stamped with completed yards; finishing 24 yards earns a 100-mile buckle. The winner earns one dollar per mile; the runner-up one dollar per yard.
