Brace yourself for one of San Antonio’s most rugged trail races—Dragon Trails Summer Edition at Pearsall Park. Hosted by E‑Dragon Productions, this event features the Great Dragon 25K, Ultimate Dragon 10K, and SA Toughest 5K, each packed with heat, hills, and high-octane endurance challenges.
Runners opting for the 25K loop twice through the front and back hills will encounter over 1,500 ft of climbing, while the 10K mirrors the opening loop of that route. The 5K, branding itself as San Antonio’s toughest, packs nearly 100 ft elevation gain per kilometer—a real test over just 3.1 miles. Expect frequent aid every mile, with water and Gatorade to beat the heat.
What sets this race apart is its no‑frills, community-first vibe: finishers receive unique medals or tiles, singlets, and a taco breakfast post-race. Race-day entertainment includes DJ Dragon and J\&B Photography capturing the gritty terrain in action. Age-group awards recognize top performers across ten-year increments and multiple divisions, ensuring recognition even in smaller fields.
With certified timing by Best Race Timers IAAP, rugged terrain, and a fierce midday start of 6:30 AM CDT for the 25K, this event delivers an endurance challenge with personality—and an adult twist of culture in San Antonio’s summer trailscape.
