Run the Pines - Faulkner Park
This event is part of the Run the Pines Trail Series, a set of four races on natural trails in East Texas. This specific event takes place at Faulkner Park in Tyler, Texas.
Participants can choose from three distances: 25K, 16K, and 8K. There is also an optional ruck division with a 20 lb minimum weight requirement. The event date is February 14, 2026.
The course consists of rooty and dirt single-track trails. It is described as flat, with an elevation gain of about 50 feet per 4-mile loop. The organizers note that conditions on the natural terrain can be unpredictable.
This is a cup-free event. Participants are required to bring their own water-carrying system. The event provides aid station food and hydration, course photography, and a fully marked and supported route.
Participants receive a series soft tee (if ordered by a specific deadline) and a collectible finisher medal. Additional awards are given for first-place male and female finishers in all distances, with a cash prize for the longest distance. There is also a "Dead Freakin' Last" award for the 25K.
Registration for the individual event is available. Participants can also sign up for a series pass covering multiple events to save on entry fees. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
