Ragnar Trail Texas is back and it’s some of the best trail running you will find in the Lone Star State. Teams of 8 will come together this October, and set up camp at Flat Rock Ranch, about an hour outside of San Antonio. It’s the perfect way to escape to the trails.
Runners conquer a series of three loops over two days and one star-filled night. Take in the natural scenic beauty that Hill Country has to offer, it is known as the Napa Valley of Texas after all. The runner-friendly single-track trails wind through groves of Texas live oak, over rolling hills, around granite boulders and prickly pear cacti. Not to mention the expansive views that will have you in awe.
When you’re not running, hang out at Ragnar Village where you can rest your legs next to the campfire, chow down on s’mores and delicious BBQ, and relax with your team. This year, runners are welcome to join us a night earlier, starting on Thursday for a bonus day of camping (bring the whole family there’s plenty of room), campfires, kumbaya-ing and fun!

Loved this race concept! There were movies and smores all through the night to keep runners awake and/ or fed, and the runners hand off tent was easy to maneuver. Not great sleeping/ facility accommodations, but i expected that. Race course was true Texas Hill Country-rocky with mild hills. Night time view was great! For the money I thought the swag was pretty pathetic- but overall would do again with the right group
Great event

Great event, well organized considering the size. Well marked trails for the race and instructions were great. The Food trucks were a bit inundated with the sheer volume of people. Need more food or instruct participants not to count on the food trucks. Overall a very enjoyable experience and would definitely do it again.
Mostly good, a little bad, some ugly.

Good: Great trails! Technical, rocky, rolling Texas Single Track! Village had a great layout and feel. Volunteer support was exceptional.
Bad: Some staff members were downright mean to runners. It makes the great staff members look bad. The hand pushed/pulled rickshaw carts to load/unload gear with this year were terrible. Not a bad idea if there weren’t a big rocky hill between the village and parking…you try hauling 100s of pounds of gear back up a rocky hill after finishing this event…
Ugly: By 10pm Friday every last portajohn was full. F. U. L. L. Like you couldn’t sit down. They weren’t serviced until 8am Saturday. It was absolutely disgusting. 60ish toilets aren’t enough for constant use by 2000+ runners unless they’re serviced every few hours.
