Mellow Trail Race 2024

With an upcoming Trail Runcation, I’ve been trying to run more trail races. The Tejas Trails Mellow Trail Race seemed like the perfect way to get off-road and back to nature! Eric and I first ran this one with friends back in 2019. It was challenging but I decided to give it another go. This…

E-Dragon Productions’ Dragon’s Den Half Marathon, 10K & 5K held at Pearsall Park in San Antonio, is a VERY CHALLENGING race.
