About the race
Rocky Raccoon 100 is a trail running event at Huntsville State Park in Texas that offers multiple distances and an organized race hub at Raven Lodge by the lake. Distances available:
- 100 miles
- 100 km
- Youth 1 mile
The 100 mile route is five full laps of roughly 20 miles each. The 100 km route begins with a short 2 mile lap followed by three full 20 mile laps. Each full lap has about 1,250 feet of elevation gain and loss. The course runs on pine-needle trails that include wooden bridges and stretches through East Texas pines; runners should watch for tree roots. Organizers provide extensive course markings including caution tape, directional arrows, confidence markers, and reflective markers for dark hours so navigation is not required.
Aid stations offer full support with hot and cold options and varied food and drink; caffeinated sports drinks are often available at night. The event is cupless so runners need a personal cup or bottle; collapsible cups are available at packet pickup. Drop bag services have specific rules: Dam Nation and Gate require separate bags and delivered bags are taken Friday night; Nature Center does not receive delivered bags. Pacers are allowed after 49 miles; runners aged 60 or older may have a pacer for the whole race and all pacers must register. Chip timing uses an ankle chip and results show gun time and chip time. Parking is limited and camping and hotel options are coordinated for event participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
