Lake Texoma, United States of America · Saturday 7 March 2026
The Cross Timbers Trail Runs Marathon in March at Lake Texoma offers runners a genuinely flat course on road surface, making it an excellent choice if you want to chase a personal best without fighting elevation. The completely flat terrain with zero elevation gain means you can focus purely on pacing and effort rather than managing hills, though the "trail runs" branding suggests you should confirm the actual surface conditions before race day since trail marathons often mix road and dirt. Based on the course profile, this is a straightforward racing opportunity rather than a scenic adventure, so come prepared for honest competition on a predictable layout. The March timing at Lake Texoma puts you in reasonable early-spring weather for most runners, though you'll want to check local conditions closer to the date. If your goal is a fast time on a flat course, this race delivers exactly that without complications.
