We will see you at the Purgatory Trail this morning!
The 10 mile course leads runners through a rather porous section of the Edwards Aquifer. Juniper groves, meadows, ephemeral wetlands, and oak mottes co-exist in Purgatory Creek Greenspace. More experienced trail runners will enjoy some difficult technical sections of trail during the race while still runnable.
We strive to be a "sustainable" race operation, this means we are a cupless race. We have water a water stop on the 10 mi at the turnaround but each runner will need to carry a bottle on the course with them. This is not new for us, lets all up our game and keep trash out of our landfills.
The 5K course is a rigorous course with a medium technical rating and is the perfect introduction into trail running. You must bring your own water & water bottle to run with.
Walkers and hikers are encouraged and welcome to participate in the 5K and the 10 mile race.
Runners and walkers will receive a t-shirt. Be advised, the tshirts are unisex sizing.
Shirts will be first come(registered), first serve.
No dogs allowed. No refunds.

When viewing the map, note that you will have a short walk from Hernandez Elementary
to the start/finish area at the corner of Wonderworld and Hunter Rd. Follow the herd, it will
be obvious. Take your time and enjoy the pre race moments.
