Big Bend Ultra
21800 FM170, Terlingua TX, 79852, USA
In 2004, a wild idea was hatched: an ultra trail race in Big Bend. It had never been done. The logistics were impossible. The Big Bend National and State Parks are huge: over 300,000 acres and several hours from San Antonio. Water is scarce. Fuel is scarce. Transportation is scarce. The isolation also means it has the lowest light pollution of any park in the lower 48 states, making it a fantastic place for stargazing. Expect zero cell service on the course! This was the beginning of a truly great event that has been held annually ever since. If you’re looking to truly get disconnected on some epic trails, this race is for you.
All other finishers receive a hand made clay finisher medal receives and a post race meal! 100K finishers receive a belt buckle. Make sure to hang on to your bib because it’s your meal ticket.
