Description
Wildflower takes place over two days with a range of standard and unique race distances. This is a great single-track trail system in Texas hill country with small rocky sections and nice climbs. The scenery allows you to see the fire-struck forest from 2011 as well as the rebirth of the Lost Pines in the area. Trails are still being rebuilt from the fires to this day, in 2024 we hope to feature a new trail section!
Runners have a choice in swag (shirts and other items), participant medals for both days, unique bib with chip timing, great volunteer support with fully stocked aid stations, and shuttle.
