Mission Tejas

Mission Tejas is a trail running event held at Mission Tejas State Park in Grapeland, Texas. Scheduled for November 15, 2025, it features multiple race distances: 5K, 10K, 25K, and 50K. The course consists of two interconnected 5K loops combining straw pine-laced single track, winding downhills, and historic CCC-built rock stairs, offering a mix of climbing and descending terrain with notable vertical challenges.

The start/finish area serves as the main aid station and support zone. The event welcomes free tent camping on the Friday and Saturday before the race, creating a community atmosphere. After a two-year hiatus for park upgrades, Mission Tejas returns as a scenic and challenging trail race experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
