The Wild Hare Trail Race

Wild Hare Trail Race

Wild Hare Trail Race takes place November 14, 2026 at Bluff Creek Ranch, 537 Owl Creek Road, Warda, Texas. The venue lists nearby smaller cities as Giddings, La Grange, Bastrop, and Brenham, and larger nearby cities as Austin, San Antonio, College Station, and Houston.

Distances include:

• 50 miles
• 50K
• 25K
• 10K
• Youth 1 mile

The main course is a 7.8 mile loop with constantly changing terrain: a mountain bike style section of twists and turns, open fast fields, and climbs and descents over a bluff. The 50 mile race begins with a modified first lap of about 11 miles then repeats five full laps. The 50K uses four full loops, the 25K two loops, and the 10K one shortened loop. The youth race is roughly one mile and is untimed; each youth receives a bib and finisher medal.

Aid station support is provided at the Start/Finish area and at a Midway Aid Station located about 3.5 miles into the lap. The event is cupless; participants must bring a cup or bottle. Collapsible cups are available at packet pickup for $7 cash or Venmo. Bathrooms and showers are available near the start area.

Course markings include orange caution tape, yellow arrows, and confidence markers with reflectors for low light. Littering can result in disqualification and the event follows Leave No Trace principles. Chip timing is used with ankle-worn chips; results show Gun Time for official rankings and Chip Time for individual course time. Pacers are permitted under specified rules for the longer distances and must register. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
