Wildflower Trail Race
Bastrop, United States • 9-10 May 2026
Wildflower Trail Races
The Wildflower Trail Races take place over two days in the Texas Hill Country at Bastrop State Park. The event utilizes a single-track trail system that traverses varied terrain, including sections of pine, sand, and rock. Participants encounter a mix of rolling climbs and descents throughout the courses. The landscape offers views of a forest affected by fire in 2011 alongside the subsequent regrowth of the regional Lost Pines.
The schedule includes diverse distances across both Saturday and Sunday. Multiple events are available for different preferences, including trail running, walking, and rucking.
- 50K (Available both Saturday and Sunday)
- Marathon (Sunday only)
- 13.1 Miles (Sunday only)
- 12 Miles (Saturday only)
- 5 Miles (Saturday and Sunday, includes Ruck option)
- 5K (Saturday and Sunday)
- 1-Mile Family Walk & Kids Run (Saturday and Sunday)
The 5-Mile Ruck options allow any type of weighted carriers and packs; participants in these divisions receive a bonus ruck patch. The 1-Mile events consist of a flat pathway loop. While the family walk is non-timed, the kids' race features chip timing. For those seeking multiple races, options exist to participate on both days, such as completing a 50K each day or participating in the 5-mile or 5K events on both Saturday and Sunday.
The 2026 event features a new start and finish staging area along with updated routes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
