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.

We're excited to share the impact of your participation in The Thankful Ones Pecan Grove Turkey Trot! Your involvement directly supports local foster children and adoptive families in the Greater Fort Bend County and Houston areas.

The funds raised are specifically used for our Adoptive Family Grant Award Program. These grants help families with the significant costs associated with child adoption, including attorney fees, state-mandated fees, and court costs. Payments for these grants are made directly from The Thankful Ones to the invoicing entity, such as the family's adoption attorney or directly to the courts.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our past, present, and future Trotters, Donors, and Sponsors, The Thankful Ones has awarded over $200,000 in adoption assistance grants to over 50 adoptive families and foster children since 2022.

December 5th, 2026

Sponsored by Altra Running and NeverSecond

Western States 100 Lottery Qualifier (sub 32-hour 100-mile) with 119 qualifiers in 2024 and 133 qualifier in 2025!

This is the December edition of our popular Brazos Bend races, with the marquee event being the 100-mile.

The Brazos Bend 100 is the largest trail race in Texas and one of the fastest trail races in the world on flat and smooth trails with incredible support from aid stations on a multi-loop course. The top 3 runners were under 16 hours in 2024. The course is 99.9% flat, and the only "hill" is a 10-foot rise over 0.1 of a mile. The rest of the ~16.7mi loop is flat surfaces that move from hard crushed rock, soft hiking trails under tree canopy, and smooth horse trails. Most runners will use a road shoe like the Altra Vanish Carbon 2, Torin 8, or Flow 2 but under wetter conditons a trail shoe may be a better choice. Conditions in December can have a mix of anything, but are typically great for running, genneraly between 40-70 degrees. 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's 50-year

history. Enjoy them on your run, from a distance, and you may get some unique race photos!

Complete the 50K or 50M in April, AND the 100K or 100M in December of the same calendar year to earn the Brazos Bend Challenge Coin.

Cutoff Times: for ALL races, the finish line closes on Sunday at 2 PM (32h 100M, 31h 100k, 31.5h Marathon, 31h Half Marathon). Final lap starts will be assessed to meet the course time limit at the discretion of the race director and staff.

Information for the 2026 event is continuing to be updated as we get closer to event day. We do not expect any major changes, but stay tuned to your email for updates. The RunSignup page is your best place for event information. Please try our AI Chatbot to ask any questions you may have.
