Noche Trail Runs - South Llano River State Park
Noche Trail Runs is a night trail event held in South Llano River State Park in Junction, TX. The event offers multiple distance options:
- 5K
- 13M
- 27M
- 40M
- 13M ruck
All courses run on wide rocky and single-track trails inside the park. The terrain is hilly, with about 1000 ft of elevation gain per loop. Historic average temperatures for the event range from 72 to 93 degrees.
Safety and gear requirements are specified for all participants. A headlamp is required for every distance. A 32 oz minimum water carrying system is required for all events and the race is a no-cup event so participants must bring a personal cup or bottle. Aid stations provide water, electrolytes, ice, snacks and some hot and cold foods; the main aid station at the start/finish area accepts drop bags, while two off-road stations do not allow crew or drop bags.
The event includes race shirts, finisher medals and awards for first place male and female in each distance. The 40 mile field has a separate heavy-duty bronze finisher medal and recorded high nonfinish rates in past years. A ruck patch is available for ruck finishers. Camping is available nearby at the park campground and there are lodging options a short drive from the park. Volunteers support course setup, aid stations and course pickup.
