THE DETAILS
Saturday START, Sunday FINISH. This course is a combination of a 3-mile, 5-mile, and 7-mile loop. Runners cannot run the same loop back to back, you must alternate. Remember there is a high level of strategy when it comes down to the wire… can you finish that last loop before the clock expires.
With a common hub, the start/ finish is a busy hive, with runners coming a going, teams cheering, music, food and so much fun! Hang out by the fire, drink a beer, and relax between loops. The greatest part about the whole weekend is the competitive camaraderie that grows with each passing hour, find yourself cheering for new friends!
Let’s all join THE CIRCUS!
THE DETAILS
12-hr or 24-hr
Runners set out as a team (2, 4, or 6 people) or SOLO (the Lone Ranger). This is no easy feat… whether you are on a team or tackling it on your own, you cannot run the same loop in a row, you must run a different loop each time to come through the start/finish. For the relay, the next runners on a team may run the same loop you just ran, as long as they ran a different one their time prior to that. There is a high level of strategy required, especially when the clock starts ticking and you are competing for the most mileage.
30K
7-mile, 5-mile, 7-mile … easy peasy right? Not quite, that 7-mile loop is a good one. Often times muddy, softer surface from the horse travels, with a few steep inclines.
Half Marathon
5-mile, 3-mile, 5-mile … not an easy combo of 2 of the most technical loops. The 5-mile loop is definitely a challenging loop with an out and back by the river, technical, and lots of stairs to climb.
10K
Tackle a good bit of the 7-mile loop, challenging but a good option for all levels.
5K
A quick technical 5K, with a beautiful 360 view of the hill country at the top. Test your speed skills and your footing. Smile the whole way.
