Organiser's Description
RACE DAY: JANUARY 24TH, 2026
LOCATION: LA GRANGE, TEXAS
Trail Racing Over Texas is excited to highlight yet another hidden gem of Texas with the Kreische Brewery and Monument Hill State Historic Site. This beautiful park sits high above the Colorado River with views overlooking the town of La Grange. This will serve as our backdrop to the start and finish of a very unique format of trail running and festival, much more family and spectator-friendly than your typical race. Kids can enjoy the brand new interactive playground, check out the historic sites, and also partake in the free kids' event.
La Grange, in part made popular by the song of the same name by Texas' own ZZ Top, will also set the theme as we enjoy live music during and after the races.

THE TRAIL AND COURSE
The park is comprised of wider pathways up top, grass areas, rocky single-track and double-track up and down the ravine, along with one section of stone stairs on an alternate part above the old brewery. You can expect around 500ft of gain/loss in the 5k event, around 250ft per mile on the outer loop. The 5k course will start with a shorter loop including the stair climb up to the historic homestead before following the outer trail loop so that we can highlight everything this park has to offer. Details of each event are provided below.
RACE FORMATS
Due to the smaller footprint of the park and singletrack, we have devised a unique format to allow better flow, safety, and mix up the typical way races are run. Participants can choose to compete in one, or all, of the events as either a runner/walker or ruck division. The day begins with the Sharp Dressed 5k, waves will be based on estimated finish time, followed by individual time trial format loops, where runners will start solo at 30-second intervals and complete a single counter-clockwise 1mi "Tush" loop, before we switch over to the reverse and complete the clockwise direction "La Grange", as two separately recorded time trials.
Start order and waves list will continue to be revised as we get closer to the event - stay tuned on race week for final wave and start time assignments. This format will also allow some great spectating and socializing before, during, and after the events. Each event will have its own set of results, in addition to the cumulative time for all three with Run/Walk and Ruck Divisions.
