Rogue Trail Series

Trail Racing Austin / Central TX

Established in 2010 by Joe Prusaitis, Steve Sisson, and Ruth England of Rogue Running, the Rogue Trail Series has evolved into a premier collection of trail running events in the Central Texas region. Known for its “runnable” trail courses that showcase the natural beauty of the area, the series attracts runners of all levels seeking a unique and rewarding racing experience. With a focus on community, camaraderie, and a love for the outdoors, the Rogue Trail Series continues to inspire and engage participants in the joy of trail running. Trail Roots founder Erik Stanley got his start co directing the Rogue Trail Series in 20011-2014 while also leading the Rogue group trail program. The Rogue Trail Series joined Trail Roots in 2024 and we are excited to continue bringing this family friendly, yet challenging run series to the Austin area. The 2025 races will be held at Mckinney Falls State Park, Walnut Creek Park, and Flat Creek Crossing Ranch.

Scoring

Finish all 3 of the RTS races to be eligible. Each finisher earns a cX Score™️: the runner’s speed multiplied by the cX Rating™️ for each race. Race placement isn’t a factor. Awards will be announced at the final race of the series: The Texas Switchback. Your race distances do not have to match; the cX Rating automatically accounts for course difficulty with a slight bonus for longer races. For example, you could choose a progression: 10k, 20k, marathon.
