Hoka Bandera Endurance Trail Run

Located in Hill Country State Natural Area, Bandera, Texas, the HOKA Bandera Endurance Trail Race offers 100k, 50k, 25k and a Youth 1 mile option each January. The main 50k loop serves as one lap for the 50k and two laps for the 100k; the 25k starts with the same course before a cutover. Expect rugged, technical trails and about 3,300 feet of elevation per 50k lap (6,600 for 100k).

Markings are extensive, with orange tape, yellow arrows, and reflectors for night. Full aid stations, a cupless policy, and drop-bag service support runners. Pacers are allowed for 100k; it is a Western States qualifier and features a Youth Run. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
