Runners can choose from multiple distances including 10K, 25K, 50K, 52M, and the challenging 100K, alongside a unique 25K RUCK option. The course, renowned as one of the fastest ultra marathon routes in Texas, navigates the scenic Lost Creek Reservoir State Trailway, featuring an open, wide path primarily surfaced with soft, fine gravel. With relatively flat terrain and an elevation gain/loss of approximately 550 feet per 15.5-mile loop, participants will enjoy diverse scenery that includes wooded areas, open fields, lake views, historical sites, and even glimpses of local farm animals. Typical race day conditions in early February present crisp air with highs around 57°F and lows near 32°F, accompanied by a low 7% chance of precipitation, so runners should come prepared for potentially chilly weather.

The North Texas Ultra is celebrated for its supportive community atmosphere, where both fellow runners and dedicated volunteers foster an encouraging environment. Aid stations, strategically placed at the start/finish, 4.4/11-mile marks, and a hydration-only stop at the 7.8-mile turnaround, are well-stocked with food and drinks. Runners are required to carry their own water system as this is a no-cup race. Drop bag facilities are available at the start/finish and at the Twin Lakes aid station for longer distances. This event is also a proud part of the Texas Ultra Series, where finisher medals from the series combine to form the iconic Lone Star of Texas, and top finishers earn a coveted spot in the Big Texas Ultra 100K Championship.

Starting and finishing at the North Park Unit of Fort Richardson State Park, the North Texas Ultra provides not only a physical challenge but also a chance to immerse oneself in a beautiful and historical setting.
