Oasis Dash - Bob Wentz Park
Oasis Dash is a multi distance event held at Bob Wentz Park on the Lake Travis shoreline in Austin, Texas. The event uses sandy lakeside paths and park trails and includes multiple race formats and race support.
Distances offered include:
- Half-Marathon (13.1 mi)
- 5 Mile (8K) RRCA Texas State Championship
- 5K Run, Walk and Ruck
- The Speedyard (multi round, up to 17.03 mi)
The 5 Mile serves as the official RRCA Texas State Championship with age group and adaptive awards in male and female divisions. The 5K includes a ruck division with required gear and weight rules: a reflective rucksack, hydration, trail footwear, weather appropriate clothing, and dry weights of 20 lb for men and 10 lb for women. Weight checks occur at the start and finish and equivalent secured weights are acceptable.
The half marathon follows roughly ten laps of the lakeside 5K course, with water and electrolytes available every lap, chip timing with lap splits, a finisher medal, and age group awards.
The Speedyard is a shrinking clock format on a 1.31 mile loop where each round is two laps. Runners must finish each round inside the allotted window to advance; pace requirements increase each round and finishing all six rounds earns a place on a final scratch lap that decides the title. Aid is available at the start corral and the course supports crew and drop bags in designated areas.
Park entry is included in registration and post race amenities include a family friendly environment and refreshments. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
