Previously known as “Nueces Trail Run”, this race has been renamed to the J&J Race and Trail Running Reunion as a way to say “thanks” to Joe and Joyce Prusaitis. In return for what they have offered so many people who now call themselves a “trail runner”, we are hosting this annual event to endlessly thank them for all their blood, sweat and tears they have poured into this rugged sport we have all fallen in love with.
This course generally goes either up or down. Not a lot of flat. The climbs result in absolutely beautiful vistas. There is also a lot of rock and a good bit of scree, which makes things even more exciting! There are gorgeous river crossings. But most years it is easily possible to keep your feet dry if you balance across the stones and bridges. We have a fantastic cloverleaf course layout with 3 different sections, each a different distance. It is very simple to follow. They all start and end at the edge of the Pavilion. So support crews can enjoy the amenities of main camp, and actually enjoy life while runners continuously get new fresh terrain, but return to a central location! It’s the perfect setup at the perfect location!
Everyone always does the cloverleaf sections in the same sequence. It goes, 6 miles out the start, 4 miles next, followed by the big 10 mile section that takes you all the way into the back valley, which is really a treat!
Runners will enjoy the amazing vistas, while friends and family relax in the spring fed river or enjoy the adventure activities around the 1400 acres of fun. Meanwhile, when people are crossing the finish line, we will have an ongoing party of elite trail runners, rookie trail runners, seasoned trail runners, hikers, joggers, and all our crews, friends, families, and new friends hanging out at one of the coolest adventure destination venues in the nation.
