🏞️ Texas Hill Country Series 2026 – Race 3🏁 Wanderlust Half Marathon
📍 Fredericksburg, Texas
💛 Friends don’t let friends run this race alone.
Answer the call of your Wanderlust and make your way to Fredericksburg, Texas for one of the most social and scenic stops in the Texas Hill Country Series. This race takes place right in the heart of downtown, with the start and finish located at Marktplatz Square, under the pavilion at the corner of Adams and Austin.
All courses are thoughtfully designed loop routes. The 5K stays in town, giving runners a tour through charming residential streets. The 10K builds on that route with a gentle stretch into the surrounding countryside. The Half Marathon delivers the full experience, town and country combined, sending runners out to the iconic Crabapple Road for rolling hills, open views, and classic Hill Country beauty, all in one unforgettable loop. As always, when you cross the finish line, we’ll be there waiting to celebrate — Scallywompus style 🎉
If you’ve ever been to Fredericksburg, you already know this race is the perfect excuse for a weekend getaway. From incredible restaurants and shopping to wine tastings 🍷, local beer 🍺, live music 🎶, and true German hospitality, there’s no shortage of ways to keep the good times going. And if your legs are feeling bold, Enchanted Rock is waiting 🪨.
Wanderlust is more than a race — it’s a reminder that friends don’t let friends run alone.
