ZZ TROT

🏞️ Event Overview

Trail Racing Over Texas is excited to highlight yet another hidden gem of Texas with the Kreische Brewery and Monument Hill State Historic Site. This beautiful park sits high above the Colorado River with views overlooking the town of La Grange. This will serve as our backdrop to the start and finish of a very unique format of trail running and festival, much more family and spectator-friendly than your typical race. Kids can enjoy the brand new interactive playground, check out the historic sites, and also partake in the free kids' event.

La Grange, in part made popular by the song of the same name by Texas' own ZZ Top, will also set the theme as we enjoy live music during and after the races.

The park is comprised of wider pathways up top, grass areas, rocky single-track and double-track up and down the ravine, along with one section of stone stairs on an alternate part above the old brewery. You can expect around 500ft of gain/loss in the 5k event, around 250ft per mile on the outer loop. The 5k course will start with a shorter loop including the stair climb up to the historic homestead before following the outer trail loop so that we can highlight everything this park has to offer.

📅 Race Formats

Due to the smaller footprint of the park and singletrack, we have devised a unique format to allow better flow, safety, and mix up the typical way races are run. Participants can choose to compete in one, or all, of the events as either a runner/walker or ruck division. The day begins with the Sharp Dressed 5k, waves will be based on estimated finish time, followed by individual time trial format loops...
