Spicewood, TX, 78669, US
Pace Bend Park is located in far western Travis County in the Hill Country of central Texas. With more than nine miles of shoreline along scenic Lake Travis, Pace Bend is one of the most popular areas in the Highland Lakes region, offering visitors a wide range of recreational opportunities. The west side of the park features high, limestone cliffs and numerous rocky coves with some of the most impressive views available of Lake Travis, especially at sunset.
Most of Pace Bend Park is easily accessible by vehicle from the seven-mile, paved roadway that loops the park. However, the interior of the park is managed as a wildlife preserve and can be reached by foot, bicycle, or horseback only. Numerous trails lead into the hills and provide excellent views of the lake and the Hill Country. This area serves as home to a large number of whitetail deer, raccoon, fox, ringtail cat, and dozens of bird species.
A rustic beauty with single track forest trails, shoreline rock formations, and cliff jumps into the refreshing Colorado River. The perfect Texas-sized end to the ÖTILLÖ Swimrun USA Season.
The OTILLO Swimrun Austin Sprint Team event, scheduled for November 3, 2024, in Spicewood, Texas, is a condensed version of the popular Swimrun discipline, designed for teams. While the broader OTILLO brand boasts a rich history originating in Sweden, this Austin Sprint offers a more accessible entry point into the sport. Participants can expect a fast-paced, dynamic race format that involves alternating between running and swimming segments, requiring teams to strategize and work together seamlessly to conquer the course. The typical terrain for this event is expected to be a blend of challenging Texas landscapes. Runners will likely encounter trails, gravel paths, and potentially some open terrain, characteristic of the Hill Country. The swimming segments will take place in the local waterways, which in the Austin area often means lakes or rivers, presenting conditions that can vary from calm to choppy depending on weather. Teams should be prepared for the unique demands of Swimrun, including rapid transitions between disciplines and the necessity of carrying their gear with them throughout the entire race. The Sprint distance implies a shorter overall course compared to full OTILLO events, making it ideal for those new to Swimrun or looking for a competitive, yet manageable, challenge.
