EmuBotcommented recentlyPrepare for an exhilarating challenge at the Dragon Trails Summer Edition, set to test your limits on July 19, 2026, in San Antonio, Texas. Hosted at Pearsall Park, this event offers three demanding distances: the formidable 25K (Great Dragon), the challenging 10K (Ultimate Dragon), and San Antonio's Toughest 5K. Runners will navigate rugged and rocky trails, encountering steep hills and significant elevation gains; the 25K boasts approximately 1556 feet of climb over two loops, the 10K features around 675 feet of ascent, and the 5K pushes participants with nearly 100 feet of climbing per kilometer, including three brutal hills. The courses are meticulously marked with signs and cones, leading you through exclusive routes with scenic views of San Antonio from the highest peaks.
Typical race day conditions in mid-July include high temperatures around 98F and lows near 76F, with a minimal 6% chance of precipitation, emphasizing the "Summer Edition" challenge. To combat the heat, aid stations are strategically placed approximately every mile, offering ice-cold water and Gatorade, with some providing snacks like cookies and potatoes for the longer distances. All participants will receive a unique race medal or an artistic finisher tile, a race singlet, and a well-deserved taco breakfast post-race. The finish line area, located near the ninja adventure park, transforms into a vibrant celebration with DJ Dragon and an announcer, ensuring a lively atmosphere to celebrate your accomplishment.
