![]() ![]() You drive right past it en route to the Race Hub. We do not offer Drop Bag service to Nature Center. This is your only chance to get a bag to Dam Nation or Gate via our services. They will be taken to Dam Nation and Gate on Friday night at 7pm. If you cannot find time to deliver your own Drop Bags, you may bring Dam Nation and Gate Drop Bags to Raven Lodge during packet pickup on Friday, and we will drop them for you that evening. Please get your Drop Bags in position on Friday as it will be congested over there Saturday morning. Now that Dam Nation and Gate Aid Stations are next to each other, and a short stroll from the Coloneh Parking Lot Trailhead, you can easily go anytime on Friday and drop your own drop bags. ![]() This will help eliminate any confusion when exiting each aid station and also help volunteers assisting runners (just think of all the extra goodies you can pack now). You will need separate drop bags for Dam Nation and Gate aid stations (1 for each). We have a special “Lemming Award” for those who blindly follow someone else off course and then get mad at us. Now of course, you can get off course… So if you’re new to trail running, you have to train your brain to keep looking up and especially don’t trust the person in front of you. It usually is required that we keep the caution tape on the ground, but it’s always obvious, and will act as a guardrail for you at open intersections.Īlso for any of our races that take place in dark hours, all our markings have high grade reflectors in them, so the course actually becomes even easier to follow in the dark! If you don’t see your distance, you just missed your turn. Simply follow the signs with your distance on them. When you get to an intersection where a shorter distance breaks off from the longer main loop, there will be signs with distances on them pointing the appropriate ways. You never have to navigate or use a map.Ĭourse markings are not color-coded per distance. We will have orange Tejas Trails caution tape blocking off any open intersections yellow arrows stapled to stakes, signposts, fences, and trees and hundreds of confidence markers between. We go above and beyond on our course markings, and have become known around the world for it.

Race Schedule TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY (OF RACE WEEK) But if you begin after the Mass Start you can see this time in the results to know the time you actually covered the course in. This is not used for official times or award rankings. “Chip Time” is the time from when you actually cross the start line until the time you cross the finish line. ![]() This is everyone’s “official time”, no matter when you enter the race course and is the time that is used for all rankings and awards. “Gun Time” is the time from the mass start (when the starter officially starts your distance) until when you cross the finish line. The results page will show two times for each runner. Timing mats are always at the start/finish/next lap line, and sometimes an additional mat is placed out on the course. We also leave the start line open for a little while longer for those who want to avoid the mass start, enjoy a more casual entry onto the course, and don’t care about overall awards.Ĭlick this button on race day to see updated results each time a runner passes a timing mat on the course and the final results. Sometimes we start more than one distance together, so pay attention to the Schedule for this event. ![]()
