The fastest 100-miler in North America, five loop PR machine through East Texas pines
Rocky Raccoon is the fastest 100-mile trail race in North America, run on five 20-mile loops through the towering East Texas pines of Huntsville State Park. The course winds around a lake, across wooden bridges, and along pine-needle-covered singletrack and jeep roads with minimal elevation gain — perfect for first-time 100-milers chasing a goal finish and veterans hunting a PR. What it lacks in mountains it makes up for in legendary aid station hospitality, a festive crew-accessible course, and roots that keep you honest. A Western States 100 qualifier, it has drawn runners from all 50 states and dozens of countries since 1993.
