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 festive "lake party" atmosphere with the finish line positioned close to the water, allowing runners to cool off and enjoy a post-race float. Distances include a marathon (26.2 miles), half marathon (13.1 miles), 10K, 5K, and a youth 1-mile run for children 12 and under.

The course features a main 13.1-mile loop with a 5K shortcut, running clockwise through varied terrain with elevation changes around 897 feet per lap. The event emphasizes well-marked trails, aid stations, family-friendly activities, and strong community support from the Travis County Parks Foundation.
