ZZ Trot (1M-5K) - Feb 7, 2026 | La Grange, TX

Get ready to rock and run at the ZZ TROT, a unique trail racing event unfolding on February 7, 2026, in the charming town of La Grange, Texas. Hosted by Trail Racing Over Texas, this event offers a vibrant festival atmosphere set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Kreische Brewery and Monument Hill State Historic Site, boasting panoramic views over the Colorado River. Runners can choose their challenge from the "Sharp Dressed 5K," two distinct 1-mile time trials – the counter-clockwise "Tush" and the clockwise "La Grange" – or tackle all three in the "Tres Hombres Challenge." A "Gimme All Your Runnin'" 1K is also available for younger enthusiasts.

The courses promise an engaging trail experience, featuring a mix of wider pathways, grassy areas, and rocky single-track and double-track sections winding through a ravine. Expect elevation changes, with the 5K covering approximately 500 feet of gain and loss, including a climb up stone stairs to the historic homestead. Beyond the trails, the ZZ TROT is a family-friendly affair, themed around the iconic Texas band ZZ Top. Participants and spectators will enjoy live music from a ZZ Top tribute band, an interactive playground for kids, and the historical richness of the site. Typical race day conditions in early February bring comfortable highs around 65°F and lows around 44°F, with only a 7% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for hitting the trails.

Each registrant receives a race bib, a commemorative shirt (for 5K and Tres Hombres), and a finisher's medal, plus fun ZZ TROT-themed goodies like a fake beard or cheap sunglasses. The start and finish lines are strategically placed within the historic site, allowing runners to soak in the scenic beauty and festival energy. Whether you're seeking a competitive trail run or a memorable day out with the family, the ZZ TROT delivers an unforgettable blend of challenge, history, and rock 'n' roll spirit.
