SUMMARY:Possum's Revenge Trail Race
DESCRIPTION:Course Highlights\nPossum’s Revenge takes place on the Possum Kingdom Lake Hike and Bike Trail\, starting and finishing at Bugg Beach on the shores of one of Texas’ most scenic lakes. The main loop is 17.35 miles\, delivering approximately 1\,460 feet of elevation gain per lap. The trail is a masterpiece of variety — rocky scrambles\, sandy stretches\, rooted singletrack\, technical climbs\, and rolling ridges with panoramic views of the lake’s blue-green water and cedar-studded hillsides. All distances start and finish at Bugg Beach. \nRace Details\nThe 2026 race is Saturday\, May 16. Start times: 69 Mile and 52 Mile at 6:00 AM\, 56K at 6:30 AM\, 17 Mile at 7:30 AM\, 8 Mile at 8:00 AM\, and 4 Mile at 8:30 AM. All runners must carry a hydration device — no cups are provided (collapsible cups available for $5 at packet pickup). Cutoff for all distances is 5:00 AM Sunday. The 69-mile course (4 loops) is the ultimate test; the 17-mile single loop is ideal for trail runners seeking a challenging but manageable distance. \nPossum Kingdom Lake\nPossum Kingdom Lake is one of Texas’ best-kept secrets — a pristine reservoir in the Palo Pinto Mountains with crystal-clear water and dramatic limestone cliffs. The lake sits in an area known as the Texas Hill Country’s northern extension\, where the terrain is more rugged and wild than the Brazos River valley surrounding it. Running along its shores at dawn\, with the lake mist rising and the first light hitting the water\, is an experience that has made Possum’s Revenge a deeply beloved event in the Texas trail running community. \nWhy Runners Love It\nPossum’s Revenge occupies the ideal niche of being genuinely challenging without the 100-mile commitment of more extreme ultras. The 17-mile single loop is a perfect first ultra for road runners transitioning to trails\, while the 69-mile option pushes seasoned ultrarunners to their limits. The May date means warm temperatures that add a classic Texas trail racing edge — hydration and heat management are as important as fitness. The Blaze Trails Running crew is known for its excellent aid station support and friendly\, community-focused race atmosphere. \nRegister\nRegister at UltraSignup or visit blazetrails.com for full race details. Exact location: Bug Beach Road\, Graford\, TX 76449 — approximately 90 minutes west of Fort Worth.
