About the Star of Texas 50 Miler • 50K • Marathon • Half Marathon • 10K • 5K
The course runs on paved road inside Pace Bend Park, looping with moderate climbs and gentle descents each time around. Because the loop is short, you learn every rise and dip quickly, and supporters can find a spot near the start and see you come through repeatedly without moving. The marathon course is USATF-certified and designed with Boston qualification in mind.
Pacers are welcome, though they need to register in advance and pay a small fee for park entry and an official bib. Personal aid station setups are allowed at the start and finish area, so you can stash your own nutrition and grab it on every pass through.
