Family-Friendly Trail Races

This means several things for two types of people: (1) Runners & (2) Their Loved Ones

1. For runners who are trying to figure out how to train and race while also being a good husband, father, wife, mother, supporter, guardian, caregiver, etc.  

2. For family members who are trying to support your runner, but get bored out of your mind trying to keep your kiddos safe and occupied.

Our goal is for the runner’s family to have fun things to do — enjoy hanging out, exercise together, play in the woods together, and create great life-long memories.  
Bottom line, we want families to grow closer together because of the Tejas Trails events!

We encourage families to run together

So, for any combo of mother, father, daughter, son, grandma, granddad, granddaughter, grandson, caregiver, etc. who signs up and runs the same event, same distance, and stays together during the race, we will offer a 20% discount for each family member!

Tejas Trails has developed this program to encourage families to spend quality outdoor time together, connecting with one another, while doing healthy activities. So we'd strongly encourage & love for y'all to run our races...together!
