Cross Timbers Trail Run

Gordonville, United States • 7 Mar 2026

The event offers four distances on rugged trails along the shoreline of Lake Texoma in Texas: a 5 Miler, a Half Marathon, a Marathon, and a 50K. The race typically benefits from favorable running temperatures for the time of year. The event organizer offers a 10% discount for active military and veterans.
