Mission Tejas
Grapeland, United States • 15 Nov 2025
Mission Tejas Trail Run returns to Mission Tejas State Park in Grapeland, Texas, on November 15, 2025. The event offers 5K, 10K, 25K, and 50K distances. After a two-year hiatus for park infrastructure upgrades, the race brings back a piney, trail-running atmosphere with a mix of straw pine-laced single track, winding downhills and CCC-built rock stairs.
Runners navigate climbs on the front and descents on the back, totaling notable vert. Courses alternate two 5K loops, with an aid station at the Start/Finish. The event often features free tent camping, enhancing the community vibe on these rugged trails. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
