  • Comments: All of Tejas Trails events are 5 star, absolutely the best. Joe is the best RD around, hands down. They are all logistically planned and run very well, and I always have a great time. This race in particular is the highlight of the year. There is a reason it sells out very quickly. If you haven't tried it, you really should! I can't recommend it enough.

  • Comments: This was a test for me. I've completed the Umstead 100 twice but Umstead is my home course. For several years I lived ~1.5 miles from there and ran it all the time. I wanted to know that I could complete 100 miles on a course other than Umstead and I wanted to know that I could do it on my own without having a trusted friend or pacer with me every step of the way. I definately succeeded at that. The race organization and volunteers were hands down the best I have ever experienced. That is hard for me to say that it was better then Umstead but I belive it was. I'm signed up for Umstead again this spring but after that I don't know if I'll do any more 100s. I really kind of like the 50 mile distance and may go back to some HIM or IM events.
