Oasis Dash - Bob Wentz Park, Austin, TX
Oasis Dash is a multi-distance running event held at Bob Wentz Park on the Lake Travis shoreline. The event includes three course options: a half-marathon, a 5 Mile (8K) that serves as the RRCA Texas State Championship distance, and a 5K that also offers run, walk, and ruck divisions.
Distances
- Half-Marathon : 13.1 miles
- 5 Mile (8K) : RRCA Texas State Championship distance
- 5K : run, walk, and ruck options
The half-marathon follows repeated laps of the lakeside course and uses chip timing with official lap splits. Aid stations provide water and electrolytes on each lap. The half-marathon awards finisher medals and age group prizes; the 5-Miler awards RRCA championship medals in Open, 40+, 50+, 60+, and Adaptive male and female divisions.
The 5K ruck division specifies required gear and weights: a rucksack with reflective elements, hydration system, trail-appropriate footwear, and weather-appropriate clothing. Weight requirements are dry weights with men at 20 lb (9.1 kg) and women at 10 lb (4.5 kg); weights must be packed high and secure. Weight checks take place at the start and finish. Equivalent secured weights such as vest plates are acceptable.
