THE VENUE and this RACE IS LIKE NO OTHER IN TEXAS!

The course is a 33 mile loop of scenic paved roads completely closed to traffic. There are challenging climbs and descents. The course is entirely on Fort Hood, a US Army military base, and as such, all participants may be required to sign a military event participation waiver and are subject to military rules and regulations. Free-range wild cattle live in the area of the event and may present themselves on the course without warning. This will be like no other Texas racing experience.

We will have a limited amount of TRP winter clothing (vests, jackets, knee warmers, knickers for sale on site) just in case you forget yours.

Saturday morning we will again have the National Anthem just before the P1 start, please be aware and give the proper respect.
