Location Change
Due to ongoing construction at Mission Tejas State Park (where this event was originally going to take place), we are moving this race to a private ranch with similar trails in Gilmer Texas (1.5 hours from the State Park). This race is still happening on the same day and times. Just a different location. Stay tuned for more course information. *the picture seen are from the state park and not the ranch in Gilmer but are very similarly in terrain*
