Free. You can start with nothing.
One counterclockwise lap of the 31.14-mile Bandera loop. The competitive field starts Sunday morning; a limited, non-competitive field is also allowed to start Saturday alongside the 100K.
Same loop and terrain as the 100K's single lap: "notorious for rocks and sotol," short but steep hills, technical trail.
A trail ultra held at Hill Country State Natural Area near Bandera, Texas, run as 100K (2 laps), 50K (1 lap) and 25K (a shortened variant) of the same counterclockwise loop from a shared start/finish, plus an untimed Youth 1 Mile. Currently branded "Bandera Endurance Trail Race" / "HOKA Bandera Endurance Trail Race" by race producer Tejas Trails. The park is known for sotol, cactus and technical, shin-cutting rock.
Results are published back to 2003. The 100K has long served as a Western States 100 qualifying race (finish inside the published time standard to enter that race's lottery).

3 people have been out there with a camera or a microphone.
These are other people's work and we link straight to them. Watching costs nothing and needs no account. More of them: every race we hold, on film.
Nobody sees it until we have read it. No account, no sign-in.
This changes nothing on the page on its own. Somebody checks it against the race first.
Somebody watches it before it goes anywhere near this page. What we are after is footage of this course, on the ground. If it would be just as true of any other race, it is not this.
We want the address of the file the race publishes, not the file. We download it from there so the page can say where the line came from.
We read every one of these and we write back. Every fact here carries the source it came from, and the way a wrong one gets fixed is a person checking it against what you tell us.
Cutoffs move, races get postponed, lotteries open and close. We read the race's own sources and record where every fact came from. Put your email in and we will send you what changed, and where we read it.
No account, and nothing to cancel.
What happens to your email. Nothing else. I do not sell it, and I will not send you anything except this race changing. One click gets you out.
I keep this catalog because the information is scattered and hard to trust. Telling you when it moves is the same job.
