About the Crazy Desert Trail Race

The course runs through San Angelo State Park, where the trails are fast and desert-flat. The park is home to ancient permian tracks preserved in the rock and a Longhorn herd managed by the state wildlife agency, so there is plenty to look at between aid stations. The terrain is dry and open, typical of high desert.

Aid stations are spread across the course with volunteers running each one, and the organizers describe them as fully stocked. The park itself handles most of the logistics, so parking and access are straightforward once you find the main entrance.

Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Crazy Desert Trail Race has been held every year since at least 2012. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

Common Questions About the Crazy Desert Trail Race

Will I finish last at the Crazy Desert Trail Race?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 41:14, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:24:31, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Crazy Desert Trail Race a good first 5K?

It is a small race (125 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Crazy Desert Trail Race?

The 5K winner ran 21:42 while the median finisher took 41:14. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
