    About This Race

    With a PR Score of 90.73, this course isn't your typical summer marathon. Rolling hills characterize the route, meaning you’ll encounter a mix of ascents and descents that can test your endurance and strategy. Set in the scenic Spicewood area, you’ll navigate a quiet landscape that may be less familiar but offers a unique running experience.

    Race Strategy

    Focus on maintaining a steady effort rather than strict pacing, especially on the uphill sections. Utilize downhill stretches to recover and gain speed, while being cautious not to overexert on the descents. Hydration and heat management will be crucial in the summer conditions, so plan your hydration strategy carefully.
