The SARR Prickly Pear is a celebrated annual trail running event presented by the San Antonio RoadRunners in San Antonio, Texas. Held on the natural, often flat and fast single-track trails of McAllister Park, it draws runners to conquer various distances. Participants can choose from a challenging 50K ultra-marathon, which involves three loops of approximately 10.34 miles each, a scenic 15K covering one 9.36-mile loop, or a spirited 5K race spanning roughly 3.38 miles. As the oldest ultra-distance race in San Antonio, it has also garnered national recognition, serving as the RRCA Ultra National Championship Race in recent years.
