Cactus Rose 100 Mile - Bandera, Texas - Running

The Cactus Rose 100 Mile is a Running race in Bandera, Texas consisting of a 50 Mile Trail Run and 100 Mile Trail Run and 25 Mile Trail Run and 5 Mile Trail Run.

NOTE - Cactus Rose is adding a new concept of aid station support.
First off: No whiners, wimps, or wusses! This race was designed to test runners over rugged technical terrain.
The old-school self-support style of putting out your own gear remains the same.
But I'm adding a new twist...
A few volunteers at each station to cook quesadillas or grilled cheese on demand.
Also, a stocked ice chest with cold Coke & Ginger Ale to grab & go.
Understand: this is not the usual full spread aid stations with tons of volunteers.
But maybe better for its efficiency and lack of chaos. A merge of the old style & new.
Plenty of water & ice, as usual, but also a bit of hot food & cold drinks.
This is what it would look like if I had a buddy crewing for me.

This was meant to be a tough race ...on purpose. But I also wanted to make it possible
for those who fly in and cannot easily bring all the gear they needaii¿½i¿½
Either way, the views are spectacular and picturesque, and the event is always epic.

Cactus Rose 100mi has been added as a qualifying race for UTMB worth 5 points.
