Do Stop Trail Race
1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 Hour
February 16-17, 2024
At the G6 Ranch, 10990 Sowma, Bremond TX, 76629
Due to a couple of weather delays in the past 2 years (i.e. tornado watches/warnings), we have changed the dates for everyone’s safety and enjoyment.
Set in the natural beauty of the Texas countryside, join us on the private, rolling trails with sights, sounds, and challenges for all running skill levels.
You know how most races provide encouragement you to keep going? Aid stations are set up to give the runners the support they need and get you moving. Not us. The Do Stop trail race wants you to come out to Bremond, TX, to start a nice long day of running on a gentle 2 mile loop. You can choose to run for 3, 6, 12, or 24 hours. We will give out medals for your greatest distance achieved. The most enduring who complete 64 miles or 100 Miles within the time period will receive belt buckles.
Along with medals, each participant will receive a prize just for coming out.

Course:
The course is on easy trails with a small section of easy single-track. There is about a 60 ft difference between the low sections and the high sections which will have you making the climb 4 times.
Aid Stations:
There will be an aid station set up just outside the course at the start-finish area. We’ll have lots of goodies, chairs, and activities for you to enjoy. Spend as much or as little time as you want at the aid station. We will never tell you to get moving or tell you how close you are to getting a buckle if you can just do one more lap.
If you don’t spend the minimum required time on the course (listed above), you get a DNF (did not finish) regardless of how many miles you do. It’s all about staying mentally strong and finishing what you set out to do without someone holding your hand. Naturally, pacers are not allowed, but if you want to team up with other runners to support each other as you run – go for it!
Cup-Less:
This race will be cup-less! That means there will be no cups for any liquids on the course. This helps us to minimize our footprint and maintain sustainability. It is strongly encouraged to bring a bottle to fill and have between aid stations.
Awards:
Men and Women’s Overall and Age-group awards will be given to top 3 finishers of each race.

- Under 18
- 18-29
- Every 10 years after that, as high as we need to go.
