Embark on an epic trail adventure at Goliath's 50, a challenging endurance event set against the scenic backdrop of the Parrie Haynes Equestrian Center in Killeen, Texas, on February 21, 2026. Runners can choose their battle across a variety of distances, including 50M, 50K, 20M, 10M, 10K, and 5K, with a unique 10-Mile Ruck option for those seeking an extra challenge. The course winds through equestrian trails composed of dirt, sand, and rock, featuring a 5K and 10-mile loop layout with rolling hills that contribute approximately 720 feet of elevation gain per 10-mile loop. Typical race day conditions in late February offer pleasant running weather, with historical highs around 65°F and lows around 40°F, accompanied by a low 8% chance of precipitation.

Goliath's 50 is more than just a race; it's a key part of the esteemed Texas Legends Series, offering participants the chance to earn "Texas Legends Finisher" or "Ultimate Texas Legends Finisher" designations by completing multiple events in the series. Aid stations are strategically placed and generously stocked with hot and cold foods, snacks, water, electrolytes, ice, and even pickle juice to keep you fueled. Runners must carry a minimum 16-ounce water system, as this is a no-cup race, and drop bags are not required due to the convenient loop design. For those tackling the 50K and 50M distances, headlamps are essential for night running, and pacers are permitted for the final two laps of the 50 Miler.

All finishers are celebrated with a Goliath's 50 medal, a long-sleeve event shirt, and top male and female finishers in each distance receive trophies. Conquerors of the 50 Miler will proudly earn a special "I Conquered Goliath" belt buckle, while 10 Mile Ruck finishers receive a commemorative patch. Join fellow runners at the Parrie Haynes Equestrian Center for an unforgettable day of trail running, camaraderie, and a true test of endurance.
