Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 21, 2026, when the Hippo Trail Fest transforms Hutto, TX, into a full-day trail celebration. Hosted at the Hippo Social Club (3250 Limmer Loop Unit 3), this event offers a variety of trail distances—from a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Marathon, and unique ruck divisions, to the weight-carry challenge Hippo Haul, plus a Youth 1‑Mile race.
🎉 Race & Trail Experience
The course is a flowing 6.5‑mile loop weaving through shaded woods, rolling creekbeds, and mild elevation—designed to challenge experienced trail runners and welcome beginners alike. The loop format makes it spectator-friendly and ideal for aid station laps. Amenities included for all participants are unmatched: access to cold plunge pools, sauna, mobility/stretch zones, wellness experiences, games, and local food/drinks courtesy of Hippo Social Club.
🎯 What Sets It Apart
More than a race, Hippo Trail Fest is a trail wellness festival. Live martial arts showcases (MMA, jiu-jitsu, youth bouts), curated art and music, a recharge zone with sauna and compression therapy, and family activities bring community spirit to every mile. Swag includes tech shirts and medals—register before February 24 to guarantee a shirt. A mandatory \$10 land-use fee is collected with registration.
