Rocky Raccoon 100 : Huntsville State Park
Rocky Raccoon 100 is a trail endurance event held at Huntsville State Park in Huntsville, Texas. The course runs through pine forest around a lake with wooden bridges, tree roots, and trails covered in pine needles; rocky footing is not a feature of this route. The event takes place in early February, with the 2027 date listed as February 6, 2027. The race is held rain or shine.
Distances:
- 100 mile 5 x 20 mile full laps
- 100 km one short lap plus three full laps
- Youth 1 mile
Per full lap the route has roughly 1,250 feet of elevation gain and equal loss. Organizers provide extensive course markings including caution tape, arrows, confidence markers, and reflective elements for dark hours so navigation by map is not required. Aid stations offer a range of hot and cold options and are placed for easy crew access; the event is cupless so runners should bring their own cup or bottle. Drop bag procedures require separate bags for specific aid stations and a Friday delivery option to the Raven Lodge area; Nature Center does not receive delivered drop bags.
Timing uses ankle chips and both gun and chip times are recorded. Pacers are allowed after 49 miles with specific registration required; runners aged 60 and older may have a pacer for the whole distance. The race is a Western States 100 qualifying event for runners who complete the 100 mile distance within the stated qualifying time window.
