Rock The Pines - DFW Series Family Race

Lace up your trail shoes for the Rock The Pines - DFW Series Family Race, set to unfold on February 28, 2026, in the scenic landscape of Henderson, Texas. This event, hosted at the renowned 29 Pines Ranch, offers a fantastic opportunity for runners of all ages and abilities to experience some of the most engaging trails in East Texas. The DFW Series is celebrated for its commitment to local, accessible, and family-friendly events, making this a perfect weekend for a collective adventure outdoors.

The course at 29 Pines Ranch, featuring professionally built trails spanning 7 miles, is often likened to a "mini-Bentonville," known for its dynamic and fun terrain. Runners can anticipate a journey through "flowy flat sections" complemented by "climbing up to earn the downhills," ensuring a varied and exciting challenge across all distances. With options ranging from a 1M fun run to challenging 2.5M, 5M, 10M, and 15M distances, every participant, from first-timers to seasoned trail enthusiasts, will find their ideal race. Typical race day conditions in late February offer pleasant running weather, with highs around 64°F and lows near 43°F, and only a 17% chance of precipitation.

Beyond the race itself, 29 Pines Ranch provides an immersive outdoor experience for the entire family. Participants can enjoy on-site camping (though without RV hookups, and generators must be off by 10 p.m.) and even paddleboarding on the lake, transforming the race into a full weekend getaway. The Rock The Pines - DFW Series Family Race embodies a festive atmosphere, encouraging community and connection through shared love for the trails, promising an unforgettable event for everyone involved.
