Organiser's Description
The Big Bend Ranch State Park is a fantastic place to run, and the Big Bend 50 owes it all to the volunteers, park rangers, ems teams, ham radio operators, hotels, campgrounds, timing team, sponsors, and our great runners for making it happen, keeping everyone safe, and having fun.
The event consists of the Borderlands 50M, Fresno Creek 50K, Quicksilver 30K and RockDog 10K and is managed by race director Carroll Voss of Overland Race Management, and a motley crew of dedicated volunteers you’ve met at the Big Bend 50 events for the last 12 years.
All races share the start and finish at the Barton Warnock Visitor Center at Big Bend Ranch State Park a mile from Lajitas. Camping and lodging are readily available in the area. PreRace dinner at the Starlight Theater.
Those up for their 1st official “Ultra” can navigate this 31 miles course through the Fresno Creek drainage + single track beauty. Climbing 1000′ to halfway point and back down to the finish line. Technical parts of the route utilize foot-eye skills, creek sand, creek xing’s and smooth sections. This course is moderately fast.
The 50 Miler is a combined run – first the 50K, then the 30K. You’ll get to experience a lot of geography and geology of the park first hand.
