About the race
Autumn Harvest Trail Weekend takes place at Lake Bastrop in Bastrop, Texas on October 9-10, 2027. The event uses the trails of Lake Bastrop, primarily the North-South Trailway, with rolling terrain, moderate elevation changes, single-track and wider trail sections, lakeside views, and stands of loblolly pines. The weekend includes multiple trail events and two backyard-style last standing formats. The Last One Standing Gauntlet follows an escalating-distance backyard ultra format: a new loop begins each hour and loop length increases every eight hours.
Runners must be in the start corral at the bell and complete each loop within the hour to continue. A headlamp and backup light are required from the ninth hour onward. Crew access is limited to the start and finish area and pacers are not permitted.
The Last Rucker Standing follows the same clock with a weighted ruck on each loop, field capped at 20, and a baseline time limit that race management may extend or modify. Long-distance trail events feature aid stations approximately every 2.5 miles. The 50K uses three out-and-backs on the North-South Trailway plus a Southshore finishing spur and offers drop bag access every 10 miles; its cutoff is 10 hours. The marathon cutoff is 9 hours.
Park entry fees apply to non-registered spectators and support crews. Registered participants have on-site parking at the venue. Every registration includes a finisher medal, race shirt if registered by September 15, chip timing, stocked aid stations, medical support, and race photography.
