Wildflower’s full marathon is a Sunday trail race
The weekend contains different menus of distances on each day. A Saturday entry, a 50K or the two-day 50/50 challenge is not the same as the Sunday marathon. Confirm the named distance and day on your registration before arranging accommodation or a pickup.
The new 2026 staging area means older start directions and course files may be obsolete. Use the current RunSignup event-information menu for the relevant map, parking, shuttle and collection instructions. Bastrop State Park is the broad venue, not a guarantee that every park entrance leads to the race start.
The published Sunday marathon window ran from 07:00 to 15:00. Treat that as the displayed edition’s schedule, not a promised limit for a future race. Check intermediate closures and actual aid spacing when new instructions appear, and allow for time spent on uneven ground and at stations.
The Lost Pines setting includes exposed areas affected by the 2011 fire as well as forest. Prepare for the forecast and terrain with familiar footwear and a carrying system you have used on similar trails. The cupless policy means a plan to drink only from disposable cups at stations will not work; verify which refill containers are acceptable. Companions should check park-pass and parking rules, especially if they attend both days. Back-to-back medals and challenges do not require a marathon entrant to race on Saturday. Choose the amount of running that matches your preparation, and avoid adding an extra long event simply to complete a weekend award. Wait for an explicitly dated 2027 programme before assuming the Mother’s Day tradition determines the next marathon date.
