Embark on an unforgettable trail adventure at the Great Springs Trail Race - Austin on March 7, 2026, in Del Valle, TX. This inspiring event, hosted by Tejas Trails at Southeast Metro Park, offers distances for every runner, including a 50K, 26.2M marathon, 13.1M half marathon, 10K, 5K, and a 1M youth run. The course features a beautifully marked 6.5-mile loop that winds through shaded singletrack, a rough jeep road with a rocky downhill start, and challenging drops and climbs through creek beds, all set amidst woods and wildlife above Onion Creek. Despite being just minutes from downtown Austin, you'll feel completely immersed in nature. Each loop presents approximately 640 feet of elevation gain, promising a dynamic and engaging experience for all.

Runners can anticipate generous support with two aid stations per loop: one at the start/finish line and the "Pump Aid Station" mid-course, both stocked with water, Tailwind, fruits, and various snacks. Remember to bring your own cup or water bottle as this is a cupless race, aligning with the event's commitment to preserving the beautiful trails. Beyond the run, the Great Springs Trail Race is an act of environmental stewardship, supporting the Great Springs Project in its mission to protect the Edwards Aquifer and develop a crucial 100-mile trail network connecting San Antonio to Austin.

With typical race day conditions boasting highs around 72°F and lows around 48°F, and only a 9% chance of precipitation, March 7, 2026, promises ideal weather for hitting the trails. This family-friendly event, known for its vibrant trail-running camaraderie and the distinctive "Tejas Trails spirit," offers more than just a race; it's a celebration of community and conservation.
