Back for the 11th year running, come see why this incredibly fun and challenging race is so popular. Teams will bike, paddle and run through the beautiful piney woods of Central Texas. The Big Chill Adventure Race offers something for veterans and beginners alike.  Choose the sprint or 12 hour race or grab your friends and try the all new ‘Tandem/relay’ style sprint race.

The “Chill” is the race that started it all. This year we serve up all new stuff as well as some old favorites. Expect a tough as nails race, awesome shwagg, cool special tests, and more. Back to the ‘Chill’ this year is Too Cool’s famous “skip point”.  Teams that bring in 5 canned goods per racer are permitted to skip a checkpoint during the race.  Donations directly benefit the victims of the Central Texas wildfires.  The race will happen rain, snow, or shine, so be prepared for any type of weather.  Race headquarters will be back at Osprey Hall at South Shore on Lake Bastrop.

Course Information:

Racers can expect paddling on Lake Bastrop (boats inc. for the sprint races), mountain biking trails/jeep roads/pavement, and trail running.  This is an adventure race not a mud run or obstacle course!  The course is NOT marked and teams must use smarts as well as strength.
 
12 hour racers (teams of 2,3 or 4), use topographic maps as well as park maps to navigate to checkpoints.  Expected winning time is 12 hrs.

Sprint racers (teams of 2 or 3), use park maps to navigate to checkpoints.  Expected winning time is 2.5 hours.

Sprint 'Tandem Relay' racers (teams of 2), use park maps to navigate to checkpoint, are on the same course as the regular sprint racers.  One teammate does the biking portion, a different teammate does the trail running portion and both teammates do the paddle.  Expected winning time is 2 hrs.
