Event Description

The Harvest Run is a vibrant celebration of autumn's bounty, community spirit, and family fitness. Set against the stunning backdrop of Pace Bend Park, this event transforms the traditional harvest season into an active, inspiring experience that connects families with nature and each other.

Unlike typical running events, the Harvest Trail Run captures the essence of fall's renewal and abundance. It's more than a race—it's a journey through the beautiful Hill Country landscape, where participants of all ages can experience the crisp autumn air, the changing colors, and the joy of movement. The event invites families to harvest not crops, but memories, health, and shared moments of triumph.

What sets this run apart is its carefully crafted approach to inclusivity and fun. With race distances tailored to every age group, from tiny tots to pre-teens, the Harvest Trail Run ensures that every participant finds their perfect challenge. Parents and children can run together, supporting each other through a landscape that reflects the warmth and richness of the season.

Each runner receives a free digital book, adding an educational layer to the physical experience. The race celebrates not just personal fitness, but the broader themes of growth, community, and the cyclical nature of life—much like the harvest season itself. It's an opportunity to create lasting memories, connect with family and community, and embrace the natural beauty of the Hill Country.
