The Great Root Trail Race 2025 | Sat 8 Mar | Book @ Findarace

We are so excited to bring a foot race back to Big Cedar Wilderness TRAILS! Love Never Ends presents the inaugural GREAT ROOT TRAIL RACE. Big Cedar Wilderness TRAILS IS ON THE GROUNDS OF MOUNTAIN CREEK CHURCH. It is located atop one of the most breathtaking escarpment areas in North Texas. Situated on over 100 acres, our TRAILS WIND THROUGH CEDAR AND HARDWOOD FOREST AND DESCEND QUICKLY INTO A VALLEY IN A DRAMATIC ELEVATION CHANGE. From the TRAILS YOU CAN VIEW ICONIC LANDMARKS OF THE DALLAS/Fort Worth Metroplex. Looking westward across the Trinity valley, the view is dominated by giant AT&T Stadium, The Ball Park in Arlington, Six Flags Family Park, and even the downtown Forth Worth skyline. Cedar Hill State Park, with its hills wrapping around a big lake, is the most prominent feature to the southwest. Our course consists of an 11.2-ish mile loop that covers multiple TRAILS THAT WILL INCLUDE TEXAS SUNSET, SXSW, Dragonfly, Copper Head Ridge, Ranger, and Barbwire. These TRAILS ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR CHALLENGING TERRAIN, with varying elevation, technical TRAILS, and natural obstacles like rocks, roots, and dirt.
