About the Austin Solstice Circuit 52 Miler 50K Marathon 25K Half-Marathon 10K 5K 12-Hour Solo & Relay
The course at Pace Bend Park on Lake Travis is a short paved loop through Hill Country oak trees, with almost no elevation change, run repeatedly to accumulate distance. The longer events start in the evening so the worst heat passes early, and the night portion brings cooler air off the lake. The USATF-certified marathon loop qualifies for Boston.
Packet pickup happens the evening before the race at the park, with a race-morning window available for those who cannot make the earlier slot. Personal pacers are welcome for the marathon and longer distances, joining partway through once runners are well into their effort. Each pacer needs a bib and pays a small park-entry fee at registration.

The Austin Solstice Circuit 52 Miler 50K Marathon 25K Half-Marathon 10K 5K 12-Hour Solo & Relay has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
