Big Tex Backyard Ultra

The Big Tex Backyard Ultra is hosted at Stephen F. Austin State Park, utilizing a large grassy area for personal crew setups near a group dining hall and campsites. This "last runner standing" event follows the standard backyard format, requiring participants to complete a loop every hour until only one remains. Runners compete for prizes, including a customized poster, hoodies, and a buckle for reaching specified milestones. Personal aid setup is allowed at designated spots. Participants must adhere to strict rules regarding start, finish, and no external aid while on the course, ensuring a fair and challenging competition.
