Event

The HOKA Bandera Endurance Trail Race takes place January 10-11, 2026 at Hill Country State Natural Area, 10600 Bandera Creek Rd, Bandera, TX. The event includes the following distances:

  • 100 km
  • 50 km
  • 25 km
  • Youth 1 mile

The 100 km is a standalone event conducted over two full laps of the main loop. The 50 km is one full lap. The 25 km follows the same start as the longer races with a cutover after the Equestrian aid station and then rejoins the full course.

Course and logistics

The main loop is roughly 50 km with about 3,300 feet of elevation gain and loss per lap. Terrain is rocky and technical with short, steep hills; all laps are run counterclockwise. Course markings include caution tape, yellow arrows, confidence markers, and reflectors for night navigation. A GPX file and course maps are provided by the organizer.

Full aid station support is provided; Lodge, Equestrian, and Chapas offer hot and cold foods and drinks, while Boyles, Nachos, and YaYa offer regular food and drinks. Chip timing is used; timing chips are issued on race morning, must be worn on the ankle during the race, and returned after finishing. Pacers are allowed for the 100 km after completing one 50 km loop; older runners have additional pacer allowances and all pacers must register. Primitive camping is available at the park and limited RV sites exist; non-racers 13 and older pay park entry. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
