Fire Trail Running Festival
The Fire Trail Running Festival is a night trail running event at Guadalupe River State Park in Spring Branch, TX. The event is organized by Texas Outlaw Running and takes place on trails that pass through grasslands and woodlands.

The course uses rocky and dirt single-track trails on routes named Barred Owl, Painted Bunting, and Live Oak. Elevation is relatively flat with about 214 ft of gain per loop. Historic average temperatures for the event period range from 75 to 90 degrees. The event does not provide disposable cups; participants are required to carry their own water system. Headlamps are required for all participants.
Pacing and ruck rules are specified: only one pacer per runner, allowed only in the last two loops of the 50K; ruck weight depends on runner weight with 30 lb required for those over 150 lb and 20 lb for those under 150 lb. Relay teams consist of two to six runners sharing a single bib; a bib belt is recommended.
Participants receive event gear and awards including a festival T-shirt, collectible medals, place awards for each distance, a ruck finishers patch, and relay trophies. The course is fully marked and supported with aid station food and hydration, photography, and volunteer staff. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
