The Wild Hare Trail Race

Wild Hare Trail Race

Wild Hare Trail Race is held at Bluff Creek Ranch in Warda, Texas on November 14, 2026. The event offers multiple distances on a common looped course and takes place on privately owned ranch land with camping and RV options onsite.

Race distances:

• 50 miles (modified first lap then repeat laps)
• 50K (four full loops)
• 25K (two full loops)
• 10K (one loop with a short cut)
• Youth 1 mile (untimed youth race with finisher medal)

The main course is a roughly 7.8 mile loop with mixed terrain: a mountain-bike style section of twists and turns, open fast fields, and climbs and descents over a bluff. The 50-mile field runs a longer initial lap (about 11 miles) before completing multiple full loops. Aid stations are located at the Start/Finish area by the barn and at a Midway Aid Station about 3.5 miles into the lap. The event is cupless; runners must carry a cup or bottle, though collapsible cups are available for purchase at packet pickup.

Course markings include orange caution tape, yellow arrows, confidence markers, and reflective markers for low-light navigation. All races are chip timed with ankle-mounted chips; chips must be worn on the ankle and returned if a runner leaves early. There is no formal drop-bag service provided by the race. Awards are given to the top overall finishers and masters per distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
