Event overview
The Coyote Trail Run takes place at Cleburne State Park in Cleburne, Texas on Saturday, April 18, 2026. The event offers multiple race distances: 50 miles, 50K, 25K, 8 miles, and 4 miles. All races start and finish at the same location, with runners completing one or more loops depending on their distance. Parking will be near the park entrance and participants use a shuttle to reach the start/finish area. All runners must have a park day pass, an annual park pass, or camping reservations to enter the park.
Course, support and awards
The main loop is 8.33 miles with about 800 to 1,000 feet of elevation gain per loop. Loop counts by distance are:
- 50 miles - six loops
- 50K - four loops
- 25K - two loops
- 8 miles - one loop
- 4 miles - one modified loop
Aid stations are staffed by volunteers and provide water, Gatorade, fruit, sandwiches, snacks, soda, and electrolyte products. Runners will pass a single aid station on each loop; multiple-loop runners can also use the start/finish aid station. This is a cupless race; participants must carry a hydration device and a reusable collapsible cup is available for purchase at packet pickup. Pacers are permitted only for 50-mile runners on the final loop. Awards include top overall and masters (40+) places for most distances; all finishers receive a medal.
