Hells Hills Trail Race

Hells Hills Trail Race, staged by Tejas Trails, runs at Rocky Hill Ranch in Smithville, Texas, near Bastrop and Austin. Distances offered are 50 miles, 50K, 25K, 10K, plus 25K and 10K Ruck divisions, and a Youth 1-Mile Trail Run. The course is described as deceptively tough, featuring a series of short, steep hills on well-marked single-track trails with bridges, stream crossings, pines, and hill-country wildflowers.

Atmosphere is community-focused with strong volunteer support, cupless policy, and on-site camping. Special features include Tejas 3x50 Garmin challenge, pacers for select distances, a race hub for families, and distinctive finish-line swag and camaraderie throughout.
