Beast of the Backroads

Beast Of The Backroads is a Texas outlaw-style endurance weekend held on a private ranch near Longview, TX (March 14–15, 2026). The event features 100-, 65-, and 25-mile bike courses, plus a 5K and 10-mile run and a 10-mile ruck. The largely paved, oil-top/FM-road course runs from Longview through Hallsville, Harelton, and Marshall, with about 7,000 feet of elevation gain for the 100-mile loop.

The atmosphere emphasizes a rugged, competitive vibe, including cash prizes for the top 5 men and women in the 100-mile, plus podiums and awards for the other distances. On-site food trucks and beer, swag, and a detailed race guide complete the experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
