• Description: Now in its seventh year, El Scorcho continues its ridiculously foolish tradition of staging an endurance run at midnight in North Texas in the middle of the summer. El Scorcho brings you the best no-frills 50 km frolic in all of Fort Worth. There's also a 25 km option for those of you who aren't quite ready to step up to the plate. But you should. Because, really, what's the difference between 50 km and 25 km except twice the distance? In the end, it's up to you. Both runs take a certain fortitude. Or stupidity. Your call.
  
  The course is located on a 3.1 mile loop inside beautiful Trinity Park in Fort Worth, Texas. Most of the course takes place on a crushed limestone path that meanders through the park and along the banks of the Trinity River. There are also some asphalt, a couple of foot bridges, a bit of sidewalk, and a basketball court. The course is fast and flat, and there will be two aid stations along the way to keep you well fueled. Typical ultra food will be provided--electrolyte drink, water, pretzels, bananas, oranges, candy, etc. There are also lots of spots along the route where you can leave a drop bag.
