The Hachie 50, set for March 7, 2026, in Waxahachie, TX, offers runners an exceptional opportunity to tackle a 50-mile ultramarathon, a 50-mile team relay, or a Boston Qualifier-certified 26.2-mile marathon. This event, held in Waxahachie's picturesque Getzendaner Park, promises a "beautiful, FAST, FLAT & Tree-lined out-n-back course!". Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with comfortable highs around 67F and lows near 44F, accompanied by a low 12% chance of precipitation, creating an ideal environment for personal bests.

The course itself is a runner's dream for those seeking speed and consistent footing, with 90% of the route on concrete sidewalks and the remaining 10% on dirt and gravel paths. Getzendaner Park provides a scenic, traffic-free environment, making for a smooth and enjoyable experience, often utilizing a 10-mile loop for the longer distances. Participants will find excellent support with aid stations strategically placed approximately every two miles, offering ample food and drinks to fuel their efforts. Beyond the race itself, the Hachie 50 is celebrated for its generous swag, including custom t-shirts, unique medals—a buckle for 50-mile finishers—and personalized camping chairs for ultra-marathoners.

Known for its superb race production and welcoming atmosphere, the Hachie 50 is more than just a race; it's a community event. Organized by the Waxahachie Running Club and Midlothian Running Club, it proudly benefits the Waxahachie Lions Club, supporting local children and schools in Ellis County. The friendly and supportive nature of both volunteers and fellow runners contributes to its reputation as a memorable and rewarding experience for athletes of all levels.
