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.

The Bagel Run in Austin/Round Rock, Texas, offers 5K, 10K, and half-marathon distances, along with a Family 1 Mile Fun Run. A virtual run and a no-shirt Eco-Registration for the three main distances are also available.

The course map is provided to participants instead of being published beforehand. Runners and walkers of all paces are welcome, and participants under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian. Timing is optional, allowing individuals to use an app to track their run and submit the result later. Best Races organizes this as a private group run, extending invitations to local run clubs and offering bagels post-race.

Halloween Trick or Trot to bieg w klimacie Halloween, organizowany w Richard Moya Park w Austin. Masz tam do wyboru 5K, 10K, półmaraton, opcję wirtualną, a nawet bieg rodzinny na 1-mile. Startują w porannych falach, a każda fala ma limit, żeby było bardziej kameralnie, a nie jak na jakiejś masówce. Zapraszają biegaczy i chodziarzy o każdym tempie, a dzieciaki mogą startować z opiekunem. Szczegóły trasy dostajesz mailem, a numery startowe odbierasz w dniu biegu, bez żadnych tradycyjnych odbiorów pakietów. Pomiar czasu jest opcjonalny – możesz użyć apki, poprosić o pomoc koordynatorów albo w ogóle zrezygnować z chipa. Z halloweenowych akcentów mają słodycze po biegu, medale dla finiszerów, koszulki wysyłane na adresy w USA, ręcznik albo jakiś gadżet, wyniki online i certyfikat ukończenia. Organizatorzy dają też zaproszenia do lokalnych klubów biegowych, opcję wirtualną, jeśli fale się zapełnią, i element charytatywny – nabiegane mile po biegu mogą liczyć się jako wpłaty na cele dobroczynne.

The Salmagundi Trail Race follows the Pedernales River at Reimers Ranch in the Texas Hill Country. It begins and ends on Hamilton Pool Road in Dripping Springs, near Austin. This November event offers distances from 5K and 10K to a half marathon, marathon, and a 50K ultra. Runners can use it for their first trail run, a quick race, or a long day on the trails. The event has a 500-participant limit and is part of the Texas Trail Championship. The course is entirely off-road, featuring wide double track, narrower single track, and jeep trail. It includes rolling climbs, not steep mountain ascents. The 5K has approximately 180 feet of elevation gain, and the half marathon has about 700 feet. The marathon course consists of the half-marathon loop run twice, while the ultra adds a 10K loop to two half-marathon loops. A Ruck Division is also available, requiring specific pack weights, pre- and post-race weigh-ins, and prohibiting trekking poles. Custom awards from Southern Forge and Mill are given to finishers. The race supports Austin Sunshine Camps, and the post-race activities include live music and local food trucks.

Justice Run Austin to impreza biegowa, która ma bazę w Travis County Exposition Center, przy Decker Lane w Austin w Teksasie. Do wyboru masz maraton, półmaraton, 10K i 5K. Odbywa się w listopadzie, ale dokładna data i miejsce zależą jeszcze od pozwoleń. Maraton to trochę większe wyzwanie niż te krótsze biegi: masz limit 5 godzin, bo drogi zamykają tylko na tyle. Jak myślisz, że zajmie ci to więcej niż 4,5 godziny, to lepiej idź na półmaraton. Impreza zaczęła się w 2021 roku i od początku ma cel charytatywny – wsparcie dla ofiar handlu ludźmi. Zebrane pieniądze idą na The Justice Residences, czyli planowane ośrodki długoterminowej pomocy dla nawet 100 ofiar naraz, gdzie opieka trwa od roku do trzech lat. Od początku wzięły w niej udział tysiące biegaczy, bo trasa i dystanse są tak pomyślane, żeby każdy znalazł coś dla siebie – od maratończyków po całe rodziny na 5K. Dzieciaki do 5. roku życia mogą biec 5K za darmo, ale wtedy nie dostają pakietu startowego ani koszulki.

The Veterans Day Freedom Run in the Austin/Round Rock area begins at Richard Moya Park in Austin and takes place annually near Veterans Day. Participants can select a 1 mile, 5K, 10K, or half marathon, with a virtual option available for those unable to attend in person. The event is designed to be small, featuring capped waves instead of a large field, and all running paces are welcome. Individuals under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian. The course map is distributed via email shortly before race day, meaning public information emphasizes the event's format over its terrain. This is a low-pressure run without timing chips; participants may use Strava, RunKeeper, Nike Run, or similar apps to track their progress, or request assistance from coordinators. Registration covers a mailed shirt, race-day bib, finisher medal, a towel or giveaway item, a digital training pack, online results, and a completion certificate. Participants also have the option to fundraise for a charity of their choice, with all net proceeds directed to that organization.
