Wild Hare has turned into one of our most fun trail races of all Tejas Trails events. With the safety and beauty of a privately owned Texas ranch and adventure park, and multiple really fun loops, new runners get a feel for trail running, and experienced runners get an opportunity to try new strategies, fueling, diet, etc. as well as hammer out a fast and fun race. Always a good turnout, usually nice weather, an entertaining course, hundreds of people hanging out all day and night... this is an absolutely fantastic trail race weekend with a bunch of good memories waiting to be made.
While every racer will get some cool swag, Oct. 20 is the deadline to get a shirt.
