Become part of living Texas trail running history at the 45th annual Cross Timbers Trail Run on March 7, 2026. As the state's oldest trail race, this iconic event offers four distances—a rugged 50K, a marathon, a half marathon, and a 5-miler—along the challenging, root-filled, and rocky shoreline trails of Lake Texoma. Known for its unpredictable early spring weather and deceptively tough terrain, Cross Timbers is a true test of grit and adaptability, rewarding runners with stunning lake views and the coolest running temperatures Texas offers all year. The race is steeped in tradition and community spirit, proudly partnering with the Trail Mix Fund to remove financial barriers and offering a 10% discount to active military and veterans.
More than just a race, it's a pilgrimage for Texas trail runners, a chance to test your skills on a classic course that has defined the sport in the region for generations. The event fosters a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere where newcomers and legends of the sport share the trail, united by the shared challenge of the "Toughest Little Trail in Texas." Whether you're tackling the full 50K or enjoying the scenic 5-mile loop, you're adding your story to a rich legacy. Lace up for a day of authentic trail running, Southern hospitality, and the pride of conquering a piece of Texas running history.
