About the race
Beast of the Backroads is a private‑ranch endurance weekend in Longview, Texas. The event offers three bike distances—100 miles, 65 miles, and 25 miles—plus a 10‑mile run and a 5K run, and a 10‑mile ruck. The 100‑mile loop sends riders from Longview through Hallsville, Harelton, and Marshall back to Longview, with about 7,000 feet of elevation gain and a fully paved oil‑top/FM‑roads course.
Runners and riders share aid stations and drop bags, and all participants must carry gear and follow road rules on open routes. Prizes for top finishers and on‑site amenities add a bold, no‑nonsense vibe. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
