Needville, Texas (United States of America) - "Brazos Bend 100". Sponsored by Altra Running. Western States 100 Lottery Qualifier (sub 30 hour 100-mile) with 98 qualifiers in 2024! This is the December edition of our popular Brazos Bend races with the marquee event being the 100-mile. The Brazos Bend 100 is the largest trail race in Texas and one of the fastest trail races in the world on flat and smooth trails with incredible support from four aid stations per loop. The top 3 were under 16 hours in 2024. The course is 99.9% flat, and the only "hill" is a 10-foot rise over 0.1 of a mile. The rest of the ~16.7mi loop is flat surfaces that move from hard crushed rock, soft hiking trails under tree canopy, and smooth horse trails. Most runners get away with a road shoe. Conditions in December can have a mix of anything but are typically great for running. Brazos Bend is a spectacular State Park located just South of Houston/Sugar Land and is most known for its abundance of birds and American Alligators among other wildlife. The gators are a part of our race; there has never been an incident in the parks 50 year history. Enjoy them on your run, from a distance, and you may get some unique race photos! Complete the 50K or 50M in April 2025, AND the 100K or 100M in December 2025 to earn the Brazos Bend Challenge Coin. www.trailracingovertexas.com/brazos-100
