This incredible natural area in north Texas at the base of Lewisville Lake (now known as LLELA) was originally wild and beautiful, full of an endless number of native species. But the area around it became urbanized and the city moved in on it. LLELA was tamed, eventually being surrounded by suburbia (the city, and thousands of people and noise). Now, LLELA, University of North Texas, and the City of Lewisville are working to bring back the wild. Reclaiming it, protecting it, and making beautiful experiences possible for generations to come. As they work daily to restore and replenish the native plant, tree, and animal life, they are bringing the natural environment back full circle. We invite you to come take part in that process, and enjoy these special trails and eco-systems, while showing your support for LLELA’s great work!
RACE DISTANCES: 26.2 MILE, 13.1 MILE, 10K, 5K, Youth 1 Mile
ROUTE DETAILS:
This trail system is absolutely gorgeous. It flows through multiple eco-systems, with small ups and downs, and twists and turns. It is not a very technical trail, but is not boring either. The views keep coming, and the wild animals and foliage are in abundance.
Then after your race, you are a short drive to a beautiful park to enjoy the lake for the afternoon or weekend.
