This is our nighttime party trail run just West of Houston at Stephen F. Austin State Park! The trails are wide and mainly gravel/dirt with a few quick elevation changes but a great trail run for beginners to advanced. 

​All runners will need both a light and hydration device as mandatory equipment. The trail will be marked with reflectors and ribbons. We are a cupless race so you must carry your own bottle/flask. Follow park instructions for parking along the right side of the park road, starting at the group dining hall event area and filling back from there. 

The group dining hall is where all the action happens; packet pickup, start/finish, spectator hang-out lawn with runners personal area, and our main aid station. A second water refill will be available at halfway at the road crossing. Extra lights and costumes are encouraged! Sunset is at 7:30 PM.

TROT XC is back! Trail Racing Over Texas, in partnership with Hardloop Endurance, is proud to be hosting the 2026 Houston Area Road Runners’ (HARRA) Cross Country, as part of the Fall series of races. New for 2026 we will be running an open 5km race and scoring the meet for clubs and teams to compete just like the high school days. The event is open to all runners (not just HARRA). Race as an individual, or gather a team, select your division, and join us for a fun cross-country meet.

Join us for a 3K walk or 5K run as we work to forward our mission to provide long-term care for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of our human trafficking survivors.

Come on out and celebrate the 18th Annual USA Fit Marathon, Shottenkirk Kia – Fort Bend Half Marathon, and Simon Spine 5K. Our event is known as “Everyone’s Marathon” because we believe all athletes, no matter what their pace, should get the chance to enjoy the race experience.

Formed in 1972, the Houston Marathon Committee® (HMC) is a 501(c)4 nonprofit organization that plans a multi-race running event (marathon, half marathon and 5K). A Running USA founding member, the HMC is overseen by a board of directors, 12 staff members and approximately 7,000 race weekend volunteer positions.

A low-key, four loop, flat, fast, tree lined course, certified Boston qualifier, with custom shirts, race hats, finisher medals, and a complimentary pizza lunch and beer after the event. All proceeds from this event are donated to Coats for Kids, Global Wheelchair Mission and Orphanos Foundation.
