Some ups and downs, lots of turns, unpaved but not too technical trails, but a mental component as you are doing 4 loops (7 if doing the Triple) on narrow trails so it can be tough on the mind.

San Felipe Shootout is a unique challenge if you run all three races. I love all of the TROT races I’ve run because of the amazing people (volunteers, organizers, and runners), but this course is pretty boring. If you run all three races, you end up with 7 (nearly identical) laps.
If you are planning to run a longer race at Brazos 50, this is a great warmup race.
Overall, trail running is always a great way to spend a Saturday and this race is super convenient to Houston…but the course is boring enough that I probably won’t run it again.
