Grasslands Run 2011
Dear Dan, Congratulations! You are now registered for Grasslands Run 2011. Please check the event's official website for updates: http://www.nttr.org/grasslands View your complete registration details »Welcome to the GRASSLANDS RUN, presented by the North Texas Trail Runners ? www.nttr.org These races have been designed to introduce runners to the trails of the LBJ National Grasslands. Please keep in mind the spirit of trail running, and plan for real trail conditions. There may be some stream crossing, mud, sand, and underbrush to contend with besides the distance. Prepare for exposure to the elements with proper clothing. Plan to carry a water bottle. Water will be provided at aid stations to refill your bottle during the event. The LBJ National Grasslands does not have a source of drinking water available, so bring some for your start and finish needs. Course markings are painted horseshoes, blazes, colored plastic diamonds, and ribbons attached to trees and posts. This is not a road race, and you will be responsible for staying on course! We will provide a very simplified map. Course markings are frequent and set to appear in a dependable manner. You will need to follow the color for the loop you are running. There are areas where different loops share a trail and up to three colors will appear. Stay alert! The start/finish major aid station during the 50 mile event is at approximately 15, 25, and 40 miles. You may leave a waterproof drop bag with your name on it at this point for use during the race. Extra clothes, special food, or medication, can be left in your drop bag and quickly accessed as you finish each loop. Back of the pack 50 milers must carry a flashlight on the fourth loop! Aid stations will be available at 2-5 mile distances throughout the races. There will be sweep riders on horseback following the last runners for safety purposes. They will carry emergency water. Please, do not drop out of the race without notifying race management and/or the scoring team at the finish area. The trails are open to others on race day and you should offer trail right of way to any horseback rider. The gates you encounter along the trail should be closed behind you if the next runner is not in sight. Cattle are grazing in areas of the Grasslands and these gates must be closed for that reason. The LBJ National Grasslands Ranger station is located on the East side of HWY 287 North of HWY 380 and should be open Friday if you have questions about the area. Or call them at 940-627-5475.

Day of race packet pick-up will be in TADRA campground. Give yourself plenty of time to reach the start line, as the area will be dark and very rural and could take up to 30 minutes from Decatur.
