Mellow Trail Race

The Mellow Trail Race is a scenic trail running event held at Pace Bend Park in Spicewood, Texas, near Austin and San Antonio. Set along the shores of Lake Travis, the race offers a unique "lake party" atmosphere where runners can cool off in the water right after finishing. Distances include a marathon (26.2 miles), half marathon (13.1 miles), 10K, 5K, and a youth 1-mile run for kids 12 and under.

The course features a main 13.1-mile loop with a 5K shortcut, running clockwise through varied terrain with rocky cliffs and lake views, and about 897 feet of elevation gain per lap. The event emphasizes well-marked trails, aid stations, family-friendly activities, and a relaxed, community vibe supported by the Travis County Parks Foundation.
