Eastern Legend

The Eastern Legend is a challenging night trail running event held on a private ranch in Gilmer, Texas, featuring distances of 5K, 10K, 13.1 miles, 26 miles, 50K, and a 10K ruck. Originally set in Mission Tejas State Park, the race was relocated due to construction but maintains similar wooded, hilly, and rooty terrain with creek crossings. The course consists of dirt single-track trails in the Piney Woods, offering a rugged experience under the stars with typical nighttime temperatures between 72-80°F.

Participants enjoy aid stations every three miles, collectible finisher medals, and the option to camp onsite. The event is part of the Texas Summer Night Series. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
