Held annually at the picturesque Inks Lake State Park, the Inks Lake Trail Run/Ruck returns on October 18, 2025, showcasing a variety of trail challenges across Central Texas’ scenic hill country. Participants can choose from distances ranging from 5K to 50K, or take on the unique Half Marathon Ruck, which requires carrying a weighted pack along the same rugged trail. The courses wind through Pecan Flats, around Inks Lake, and along ridgelines overlooking the dam, offering a blend of rocky climbs, shaded woods, and sweeping lake views. All runners receive finisher medals and event swag, with hydration stations, chip timing, and access to post-race celebrations—including a popular cool-down dip at Devil’s Waterhole. Whether you're an ultra-runner, weekend warrior, or young first-timer, this event combines endurance, community, and natural beauty.
