Star Ranch has hosted the Bare Buns Run 5K Fun Run in the spring every year since 1997. With over 150 5K runners in the competition, our races qualify for the AANR-SW 5K Series. Due to the popularity of this event, AANR-SW asked us to host a second 5K event each year — now named the Chilly Cheeks 5K Run and is run in the autumn.
THE COURSE
Enjoy a rural run through Star Ranch in McDade, Texas, 30 minutes east of Austin on US Hwy 290. The course winds its way around pastures and through woodland trails for approximately three kilometers before entering the developed portion of the ranch. The final two kilometers are on the sand and gravel paths connecting the cottages and cabins owned by our members. The race finishes at our gorgeous pool where you can enjoy a light meal off the grill while awaiting race results.
