Texas Endurance Runs 48

Endurance Event Details

The Texas Endurance Runs is an annual event held in Fort Worth, Texas. The competition takes place on a 1.25-mile loop consisting of asphalt, gravel roads, and grass surfaces. This is a "fat-ass-style" event that utilizes professional timing and lap-counting systems to track progress.

The event features several duration-based categories:

• 48-Hour Endurance Run: Participants complete as many loops as possible over two days.
• Friday Night 24-Hour Fun Run: A one-day event with marathon and 50K distance options.
• Saturday Night 24-Hour Fun Run: A second one-day session with similar milestones.
• Virtual Texas Endurance Run 48: A remote option where participants track miles over 48 hours.

Participants have access to an aid station providing water, soda, electrolyte drinks, and various sweet or salty snacks. The start and finish area includes indoor bathrooms and a sheltered space with air conditioning. Limited free camping is available on-site.

Environmental conditions typically include average daytime temperatures of 97 degrees and nighttime averages of 77 degrees, with high humidity and no shade on the course. All finishers receive medals. Runners who complete 50K or more receive distance stickers, while those who reach 100 miles in the 48-hour event receive a hand-painted brick. Winners in their respective categories are awarded plaques. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
