Tejas Trails Hells Hills Smithville, TX   Apr 4, 2026

Tejas Trails Hells Hills hosts a deceivingly tough course, at a really fun and easy to get to venue. If you are looking for your first trail run or to go further than ever before, come out and enjoy this beautiful course with an awesome set of well-made single track trails, bridges, stream crossings, pine trees, hill country flowers, and a whole lot of fun, passionate folks waiting to help you reach your goal. For many, this long-standing event has become an annual occurrence that has really become a reunion of friends, old and new. We’ll be out all weekend and in no hurry to leave. Especially with the wildflowers popping.

Expect a lot of fun, short, steep hills (where the name comes from). There are no real long drawn out huge climbs or descents on this course, but you are almost always on a roller coaster of fun slight ups and downs; aside from a couple stretches where you can stride out through the pine trees and the fields of wildflowers. This course is a blast, and is always beautiful this time of year!

There will be a lot of on course support and a well-marked course, but keep in mind if you’re new to trail running, this isn’t a road race, plan accordingly.
