On this episode of the Texas Outlaw Running Talk Show, Aaron is joined by Hybrid Race Director Sarah Scott for a full Race Director Intel breakdown of the 2026 Big Texas Ultra Championship in Johnson City, Texas.
They walk through everything runners need to know before race weekend, including packet pickup, start times, race cutoffs, required gear, hydration requirements, headlamps, phones, ruck weights, pacer rules, drop bags, aid stations, parking, course markings, timing, and race-day logistics.
The conversation also breaks down the 15K, 50K, and 100K courses, including elevation, aid station locations, crew access, and what runners can expect as they move through the course during the day and into the night.
Sarah also shares advice for runners using crews, why practicing your crew plan ahead of time matters, and what she is personally thinking about as she prepares to compete in the 100K.
They also cover the Big Texas Ultra Championship awards and prize money, including $1,500 for the first-place male and female championship finishers, along with the belt buckles, medals, patches, and other awards available throughout the weekend.
