The race starts and fnishes at Rocky Hill Ranch headquarters (578 FM 153, Smithville, TX 78957), and the course consists of roughly 50% dirt road and 50% single track. Each loop is 20.7 miles beginning with a fast 7 miles of dirt roads heading to the north end of the ranch, then continuing with some of the sweetest single track in Texas. Runners make their way back to the start, see all their closest friends and family, then hit the loop again. We’ll have loads of aid station support to fuel your run, and the post-race party will knock your socks off.
