Overview

Rocky Raccoon got so big a few years ago we ended up splitting the 50 mile and 50km distances onto the following weekend. We also have a half marathon now! So, now Rocky 50 is a stand alone event. If you want to run your first ultra, or you want to run a really fast and scenic trail race, this is your course. Rolling trails, lots of exposed tree roots, beautiful pine trees with their needles nestled under your feet, cool bridges, a gorgeous east Texas lake, wildlife, and a wonderful set of aid stations and volunteers.

USWE & Tejas Trails: We are proud to be partnered with USWE for this event! Check out their amazing packs and other gear, and enjoy an exclusive discount for being a Tejas Trails racer!

Course Description

The race starts on the edge of Lake Raven. It’s a beautiful layout with plenty of room for your team tent, drop bags, crew, and family and friends to enjoy! From there, you will wind your way around pretty much every nook and cranny of Huntsville State Park. Oftentimes, near the shore of the lake, usually gently rolling up or down with no steep climbs, and lots of roots. Lots and lots of roots.

50 Mile = 3 x 16.7 mile loops
50K = 1x 14.6 mile first lap, followed by 1x full 16.7 mile lap.
13.1 Mile = 1x 13.1 mile modified lap, showcasing the best of the trail system and fun bridges.

This is an elevation profile for the 100K and is meant to show you the lay of the land, not the exact course profile this year.

Below is a link to a GPX file and elevation profile image of the current course. Please note, the course can slightly change last minute, based on unexpected trail changes or conditions outside our control. And this file and profile image may not get updated immediately.

Also note, this file shows one single full lap. It does not show the 100km first short lap.

Expect roughly 1,250 feet of elevation gain and equal loss, per full lap.
