About
The Rocky Raccoon 100 runs five 20-mile loops around the lake at Huntsville State Park, through the towering pines of East Texas and over wooden bridges. With about 1,250 feet of climb per lap and 6,250 across the hundred miles, it is one of the flattest and fastest 100-milers in the country, and it draws runners chasing a fast time or a first finish. Tejas Trails puts it on, and a 100K shares the course.
The 100 starts with a 6:00 a.m. mass start on a Saturday in early February. The cutoff is a generous 32 hours, though Western States counts it as a qualifier only for a finish under 30.
