The Trailway Trail Race is a fall event held at Lake Somerville State Park, Birch Creek Unit, near Somerville, Texas.

Participants can select 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, or 50K, with ruck options available for the 10K and marathon. The course follows the perimeter of Lake Somerville, crossing rolling dirt paths that alternate between open terrain and tree cover. The start and finish are located by the lake on an expansive grass area, providing ample space for spectators during and after the longer races. The park comprises two sections, Birch Creek and Nails Creek, connected by The Trailway. The race currently takes place within Birch Creek, with intentions to extend into the Nails Creek area upon the repair of a damaged bridge. A Friday evening gathering offers a relaxed pre-race event featuring a cookout and shared trail experiences.

Autumn Harvest Trail Weekend is a two-day trail running series at Lake Bastrop in the Lost Pines area of Central Texas, held in the fall. The weekend offers a range of events from short trail races to long endurance efforts, with options including a 5K, 5-miler, 10K, 10-miler, 20-miler, half marathon, marathon, 50K, and a Last Standing ultra. Saturday is the Ultra & Distance Day, featuring the longest events designed for runners seeking hours on dirt trails. The courses traverse fast dirt trails alongside Lake Bastrop, featuring winding lakeside sections, open skies, and tall pines. The most unique event is the Last Standing ultra: participants begin at Basecamp on the Gideon Loop and complete a 4.17-mile loop each hour. This format can extend to 24 loops, approximately 100 miles, with a 50-runner limit and a cumulative-time tiebreaker if necessary. The 9:00 AM start time means runners will face the heat of the day, sunset around the tenth hour, a full night, and potentially into the next morning if they meet the hourly cutoff.

Mujeres & Marigolds is a women-only trail race held at Rocky Hill Ranch in Smithville, Texas. It offers 100k, 50k, 25k, 10k, and 5k individual distances, along with a 100k relay option. This event has a limited field size, capped at 500 participants.

The 100k race consists of four loops, the 50k of two loops, and the 25k, 10k, and 5k each involve a single loop. The event is designed for both individuals new to trail running and seasoned runners seeking an extended run on unpaved terrain without a large gathering.
