Organiser's Description
IMPORTANT - Sadly, the 1877 Ultra race is cancelled for this weekend. Lake Mineral Wells State Park contacted us with concerns for potential significant rainfall. It was decided to cancel the race due to natural resource protection and erosion of the trails. We were looking forward to the race this weekend and are extremally sad to share this information with you. All runners and volunteers have been notified via email. Soon, runners will get a second email with additional details and options.
