Course
Every distance shares a start and finish at the Barton Warnock Visitor Center on the edge of Big Bend Ranch State Park, running remote desert trail across the state park and Big Bend National Park. The 10K is a straight out-and-back with no aid; the longer routes climb hard and carry several aid stations, only Contrabando reachable by vehicle. Expect no cell service anywhere on course.
