Rocky 50 event overview
The Rocky 50, by USWE Trail Race takes place on February 14, 2026 at Huntsville State Park, 565 Park Road 40 West, Huntsville, TX. The event includes the following distances:
- 50 mile
- 50K
- 13.1 mile (half marathon)
- Youth 1 mile (open to ages 1–12)
The event has a participant cap due to limited park space. Registration includes race swag with a deadline for shirt orders; later registrants receive a different swag item. Races are chip timed with ankle chips collected after finishing. Results display both gun time and chip time.
Course and race logistics
The start/finish and race hub are at Raven Lodge by Lake Raven. The course uses loops through Huntsville State Park with many exposed tree roots, pine needle-covered trails, bridges, and lake shoreline sections. Loop structure:
- 50 mile = 3 x 16.7 mile loops
- 50K = one 14.6 mile first lap then one 16.7 mile lap
- 13.1 mile = one 13.1 mile modified lap
A full set of aid stations is provided; one Bridge Aid Station mainly supports the half marathon and is not a reliable service point for 50K and 50 mile runners. The race is cupless; runners should bring their own cup or bottle. Course markings include caution tape, yellow arrows, and reflector markers for low-light conditions. Pacers are allowed under event rules and must register. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
