Eastern Legend

Gilmer, United States • 28 Jun 2025

The Eastern Legend is a challenging night trail running event held on a private ranch in Gilmer, Texas, featuring distances of 5K, 10K, half marathon (13M), marathon (26M), 50K, and a 10K ruck. Originally planned for Mission Tejas State Park, the race was relocated due to construction but maintains similar rugged, wooded, and hilly terrain with dirt single-track trails and creek crossings. The course offers a raw, untamed experience with steep climbs and technical sections under night skies. Participants receive collectible finisher medals, aid stations are spaced every 3 miles, and the event is part of the Texas Summer Night Series.
