IRON HORSE Endurance Run - Paris, TX
The IRON HORSE Endurance Run is a new point to point ultrarunning event on the Northeast Texas Trail (NETT) near Paris, Texas. The event features the first true point to point 100K in Texas and a near point to point 100 mile course in the state.
The course surface includes dirt, gravel, paved trails, roads, and sidewalks. The route is generally flat with recorded elevation gain of about 1,000 ft for the 100K and about 2,000 ft for the 100 mile. Historic average temperatures for the time of year are roughly 33 to 53 degrees Fahrenheit. The Love Civic Center in Paris, TX serves as the main event location and packet area.
Race services include full race support with loaded aid stations, warming stations, photography, and several crew access points. The event is cup free so participants must bring their own water system. Shuttle service to distant start locations is available for some distances; participants may also arrange private transport to start locations. Crew may access the course along its length, and aid station locations will be published. Pacers are allowed only in the last half of each race and only one pacer per runner.
Finishers receive a custom engraved plaque with a built in buckle holder and an authentic railroad spike from the NETT. Event gear, division awards, and specific buckle and patch distinctions are provided for each distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
