Piney Woods Ultra

The Piney Woods Ultra is a trail running event held at Tyler State Park in Tyler, Texas, featuring distances of 5k, 10k, 25k, and 50k. Runners traverse diverse, single-track trails winding through dense forests of towering 100-foot pine trees, with technical terrain including rolling hills and root-covered paths. The course offers a challenging experience due to humidity, elevation, and trail technicality, rewarding participants with scenic views and a spring-fed lake for post-race recovery.

The race is part of the Texas Trail Running Eco Series and emphasizes environmental responsibility with a cupless format. Aid stations provide hydration and nutrition, supported by enthusiastic volunteers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
