Hippo Trail Fest

Hippo Trail Fest is a trail-running festival in Hutto, Texas, hosted at the Hippo Social Club on the edge of a wooded, rolling trail system. The event offers distances from 5K up to 26.2 miles, plus 10K and 13.1-mile Rucks, the Hippo Haul weight-carry, and a Youth 1-Mile Trail Run. The course is a well-marked rolling 6.5-mile loop through forest trails with creek crossings and sunny stretches.

The day blends competition with a festival vibe: live combat-sports showcases, live music, curated art and wellness experiences, and a Recharge and Restore Zone with sauna, cold plunge, massage, and more. It’s family-friendly, with generous aid, race swag, and onsite amenities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
