About
Back the Badge Trail 5K is held in Boerne, Texas, on October 31, 2026, with the Back the Badge 5K starting at 7:30 a.m. over 5 kilometers, or 3.1 miles, on trail rather than road.
Trail changes the math on a 5K. Uneven footing and turns cost you time compared with pavement, so judge the run by effort and ignore whatever your road personal best says. Shoes with grip are the one piece of equipment worth sorting out beforehand. If you have never raced off-road, add one easy trail run a week for a month before the date and your ankles will thank you on the day. The early start also puts you out in the cooler part of a Texas morning.
