Bluebonnet Trail Run
The Bluebonnet Trail Run is a multi-distance trail running event at Turkey Bend Recreation Area on the shores of Lake Travis in Marble Falls, Texas. Routes run through lake views, wooded paths, and bluebonnet meadows. The event is timed to coincide with peak bluebonnet bloom; trail conditions are weather-dependent and routes may be adjusted to protect natural areas.
Distances offered include:
- 50-Miler ultra
- 50K
- Marathon (26.2 miles)
- Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
- Half-Marathon Ruck
- 10K
- 5K
- Last One Standing Gauntlet
- Million Bluebonnets variants
The Half-Marathon Ruck uses the same course as the half marathon and has specific rules: a minimum pack weight of 20 lb for participants under 150 lb and 30 lb for participants 150 lb or over; weight is checked before the start and at the finish; water does not count toward the minimum and the weight must remain secure in the pack for the entire course. Ruckers are scored in their own division and have separate awards.
The Last One Standing Gauntlet follows a backyard ultra format with progressively longer hourly loops and increasing pace requirements as the race advances.
Net proceeds after event expenses are donated to HKRS Cedar Park youth running programs. The event is organized by Fit Foundation volunteers. All participants receive a finisher medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
