    THIS IS THE APRIL EVENT

    Registration and information for the December edition: Brazos Bend 100.

    Description

    This is the April edition of our popular Brazos Bend races with the marquee event being the 50-mile. Additional events include the 50k, 25k, 10k, and 5k. A great event for veteran or first-time ultra runners, trail runners, and those new to running in general.

    The Brazos Bend course is the fastest trail in Texas trail running. The course is 99.9% flat, and the only hill is 10 feet. Other than that you will be running on flat surfaces that move from hard crushed rock, soft hiking trails under tree canopy, and easy horse trails. Conditions in the Spring are typically warm and humid but can still start with some cooler mornings. Brazos Bend is a spectacular State Park located just South of Houston/Sugar Land and is most known for its abundance of birds and American Alligators among other wildlife. The gators are a part of our race, there has never been an incident in the park. Enjoy them on your run, from a distance, and you may get some unique race photos!

    Event details will continue to be updated here, via email/social, and the TROT BB50 Event Site.

    PARK PASS

    Registered runners/pacers, volunteers, and campers DO NOT need to purchase a pass.

    Every guest 13 and over entering the park will require a special events state park pass for the weekend which includes park entry, trail & facility use. This fee goes directly to Brazos Bend State Park. Receipt of digital payment should be shown at packet pickup in exchange for wristbands for the weekend. You may pick up pre-purchased wristbands for others with a digital receipt. Extra park passes are available on the TROT store in the month leading to the event.

    Pacers

    Pacers are only allowed on the final lap of the 50M and must remain with their runner at all times. Each athlete is only allowed ONE pacer unless under special approved circumstances. Registered participants who will also pace after completing their own event do not need to register as a pacer, but should check in at the timing tent prior to pacing to receive a separate bib.

    Registration as a pacer is done the same way as a participant through RunSignup. Registration must be completed by the pacer for insurance purposes and the registered runner must be listed during registration. Pacer registration includes park pass, parking, and event support. Option to add-on a race shirt will be offered prior to the order deadline. Pacer registration will open on Run Signup one month before the event and remain open through race day.
