Purgatory Trail Race:
San Marcos' trail race on the beautiful Purgatory Trails cared for by the San Marcos Greenbelt Alliance! This is a USATF sanctioned event.
The 10 mile course leads runners through a rather porous section of the Edwards Aquifer. Juniper groves, meadows, ephemeral wetlands, and oak mottes co-exist in Purgatory Creek Greenspace. More experienced trail runners will enjoy some difficult technical sections of trail during the race while still runnable.
The 5K course is a rigorous course with a medium technical rating and is the perfect introduction into trail running.
Walkers and hikers are encouraged to participate in the 5K and 10 mile race.
