About the Event

Rise in the Pines, set for July 17th, 2026, at Rocky Hill Ranch near Smithville, Texas, is more than just a race; it’s an immersive journey through the pine-covered trails of Central Texas. This event offers distances ranging from a challenging 200 kilometers to shorter but equally demanding options like the 50k and even a family-friendly 10K.
The course itself winds through dense pines, offering runners a mix of single-track trails and small hills that add character and challenge to each loop. With full aid stations strategically placed along the route, participants can focus on pushing their limits while enjoying the natural beauty around them. The race starts early in the morning, with the 200k event kicking off at 6:00 am followed by the 100-mile run and other distances starting throughout the day.
For those looking to experience a team effort, there's also a relay option for both the 100-mile and 100-kilometer races. The race weekend kicks off with packet pickup on Friday from noon until 7:00 pm at the start/finish area. On Saturday morning, runners can collect their packets between 5:00 am and 9:00 am before heading out to tackle the challenging terrain.
Participants will receive a custom medal upon completion of any distance as well as access to outstanding volunteer support throughout the event. The race is fully chip-timed for accurate results, and free race photos capture every moment of your journey through the pines. With its scenic setting and supportive community atmosphere, Rise in the Pines promises an unforgettable experience for runners of all levels.
