What Makes It Great

The Hard Times "50K" is really 32.8 miles. It starts in Paris, Texas, and runs out and back east on the Northeast Texas Trail to Roxton, on dirt, gravel and paved rail-trail. Full aid stations sit at Paris and Roxton, with a water stop at Ambia each way. It starts at 8:30 AM, half an hour after the long races.
