Race 1: Middle Concho Park
This race will be held on January 18, 2025 at 8AM.
The first race of the Trail Series, often considered the most difficult, starts at Middle Concho Park. The trail leads into the Twin Buttes Reservoir area, currently managed by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. This course has dirt paths, rocky inclines, and great views of the Twin Buttes and San Angelo. Since there are so many trails in this area, there are many arrow signs to follow. Make sure that you're paying attention to the signs so you don't get lost!
Parking: Parking is along the roads of Middle Concho Park. This parking fills up very quickly. Be sure to arrive early or plan to walk up to a mile to get to the race start.
