The first event in the Capt'n Karl's Trail Series

Check out this great video of Pedernales Falls State Park for a glimpse of why we LOVE this venue!

Please note, this park will require all spectators to pay a small fee to enter the park.  We take the $10 for the park upon your online registration for all racers.  But all non-racers will need to pay at the gate.  That fee will be good for the entire weekend.  Even though it's a requirement, please consider it a cool way to support an amazing piece of Texas history, and the park's staff to maintain a very special set of trails!

The Capt’n Karl’s Trail Series begins on the hilly, steep & rocky trails of Pedernales Falls State Park along the Pedernales River. Located 9 miles east of historic Johnson City & only 43 miles west of beautiful Austin, Texas. Racers will be enjoying minimal fence line running & lots of challenging, technical & gorgeous single track. Runners will traverse Twin Buttes, Lone Mountain & Butler Mountain, as they wind along the new Juniper & Madrone Trails towards Polly's Corral Aid Station. The course continues along the Wheatley & Equestrian Trails back to Wolf Mountain & Start/Finish Aid Stations. Our course features incredible vistas, wooded trails & (seasonal) creek crossings; every runner is sure to find a favorite stretch of this memorable trail.
