North Texas Ultra
The North Texas Ultra is a multi-distance running event held at Fort Richardson State Park in Jacksboro, Texas. The course takes place on the Lost Creek Reservoir State Trailway, which features a wide trail surface composed of soft fine gravel. This route is characterized by relatively flat terrain, with an elevation gain and loss of approximately 550 feet for every 15.5-mile loop.
Participants follow a 15.5-mile out and back course that begins and ends at the North Park Unit. The event offers a variety of distances to accommodate different preferences:
- 100K
- 52 Miler
- 50K
- 25K
- 25K RUCK
- 10K
- 5K
The 25K RUCK division includes specific weight requirements based on the participant's body weight. Runners weighing over 150 lbs carry a 30 lb ruck, while those under 150 lbs carry a 20 lb ruck.
The event is part of the Texas Ultra Series. Runners who complete multiple races in the series can collect finisher medals that combine to form the shape of the Lone Star of Texas. Additionally, top finishers in the longest distances may qualify for a championship event held near Austin. Support is provided through fully marked courses, aid stations with food and hydration, and photography services. Pacers are permitted for the final loops of the 50K, 52 Miler, and 100K distances.
