Rocky 50 Trail Race

Rocky 50 Trail Race

Rocky 50, by USWE Trail Race, is a multi-distance trail event held on February 13, 2027 at Huntsville State Park, Texas. The race center is Raven Lodge at the edge of Lake Raven and the course winds through the park trail system.

Distances:

• 50 mile
• 50K
• 13.1 mile
• Youth 1 mile

The course uses looped laps: the 50 mile is three 16.7 mile laps; the 50K combines a shorter first lap with a full 16.7 mile lap; the half marathon follows a single modified 13.1 mile lap. Runners encounter rolling trails, many exposed tree roots, pine needle-covered surfaces, scenic bridges, and lake shoreline. Expect roughly 1,250 feet of elevation gain and similar loss per full lap.

Course markings include caution tape, yellow arrow signs, and confidence markers, with high-grade reflectors used for low light. Aid stations provide full support with hot and cold options; the event is cupless so runners should bring their own cup or bottle. Drop bag delivery is available for the longer distances when submitted at packet pickup. Pacers are permitted later in the race and must register; 60 and older may have a pacer for the entire race. Parking at the park is limited and camping or RV reservations for race weekend are managed through the event system. Littering can lead to disqualification as part of the Leave No Trace policy.
