Shannon Trail Series

Shannon Trail Series is a three-race trail series in San Angelo, Texas, spread from January 16 to February 20, 2027, and organized by the San Angelo Road Lizards. Race 1, at Middle Concho Park on January 16, offers a 10K and a 5K at 8:00 AM. Race 2, at San Angelo State Park on January 30, offers a 12K and a 5K, also at 8:00 AM. Race 3, at San Angelo State Park on February 20, closes the series with a 15K and a 5K. Check the exact location for each race in the series.

A series like this is a good way to build across a winter: the 5K runs at every stop let you track your progress on comparable ground, while the long option grows from 10K to 12K to 15K, which is a natural progression rather than a jump. Off-road racing rewards patience, so run by effort on the climbs and save your pushing for the flatter sections.
