Who's going to Rockledge Rumble?
Free. You can start with nothing.
Free, and always will be. NavRun makes money from race-day planning for runners who want it, never from this.
Ultras change constantly, sometimes the morning of. Always confirm with the race director and the official website before you rely on anything here.

The race
What this one is
The Rockledge Rumble Trail Run offers 50K, 30K and 15K events on the North Shore Trail along the shore of Lake Grapevine, just north of the DFW airport. The trail varies between soft dirt paths and more technical, rocky sections further from the start/finish. The race finishes along the bank of the lake until runners are forced up the steep, wooden staircase.
The Rockledge Rumble was founded in 1996 by Fred Holmes and Jay Norman, to raise funds for the U.S. team to attend and compete in the 100K World Championship. In 2016 Chris Barnwell acquired it along with the Grasslands Trail Run.

every one of these is read by a person before it changes anything
Ran this race? Tell the next runner what you know.
Nobody sees it until we have read it. No account, no sign-in.
See something wrong or out of date? Suggest an edit.
This changes nothing on the page on its own. Somebody checks it against the race first.
Were you out there? Say which stops a text got out from.
Nobody sees it until we have read it. No account, no sign-in.
Seen a course preview or a film of this one? Send it over.
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.
Have the GPX? Send us the link.
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.
Are you the race director? Get in touch and we'll make it right.
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.
Where this came from.
Every fact on this page records its source and when we last checked it: 43 sources for this race. Hover a source link to read the sentence it came from.
16% of what we track for a course is filled in. The rest says "not checked yet" rather than guessing.
Ultras change. We will tell you when this one does.
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.
