Event information
Run The Pines - Faulkner Park takes place in Tyler, TX on February 14, 2026 at Faulkner Park (410 W Cumberland Rd, Tyler, TX 75703). The event offers the following distances:

- 16K
- 8K
The courses use natural dirt and forest trails with rooty single-track sections. Elevation is described as about 50 ft gain per 4-mile loop. The event is a no-cup race, so participants must provide their own water-carrying system. Aid stations will provide food and hydration. The course is marked and supported, and event photography is provided. Ruck entries are allowed with a minimum weight requirement of 20 lb; ruck sacks or vests are permitted.
Series and awards
The race is part of the Run The Pines Trail Series, a four-race series in East Texas that includes events in Tyler and Longview. Completing all four races combines the finished medals so they fit in a Run The Pines Series Plaque. Event gear and awards include a trail series soft tee (order deadline applies), a wooden finisher medal, ruck patch for qualifying ruckers, 1st place awards for each distance by gender, and a $200 cash prize for 1st place male and female in the longest distance. The 25K also includes a "Dead Freakin' Last" award. Registration closes February 13, 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
