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 at Mission Tejas State Park, the race moved due to construction but retains similar wooded, hilly terrain with dirt single-track trails and creek crossings. The course offers a rugged experience under the stars in East Texas' humid climate, with historic nighttime temperatures between 72-80°F.

Participants receive collectible finisher medals, aid stations are spaced every 3 miles, and camping is available onsite. The event is part of the Texas Summer Night Series. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
