About this race
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.
What to expect
Written from race dataThe OTILLO Swimrun Austin Sprint Solo, taking place on November 3rd, 2024, in Spicewood, Texas, is the solo, shorter format of the renowned ÖTILLÖ Swimrun World Series. While the ÖTILLÖ brand boasts a rich history dating back to 2006 and is synonymous with challenging island-to-island races, the Sprint Solo format offers an accessible entry point to the exciting discipline of Swimrun. Participants can expect a demanding yet rewarding experience that blends continuous running and swimming across multiple transitions. This event is characterized by its unique combination of rugged Texas terrain and refreshing water segments. Runners will navigate trails that are likely to be a mix of dry and potentially dusty paths, possibly with some rocky or uneven sections, typical of the Texas Hill Country. The swimming will take place in the clear waters of Lake Travis, offering a refreshing contrast to the run. Competitors should be prepared for variable weather conditions common to early November in Texas, which could range from cool mornings to warmer afternoons. The solo format means participants will tackle all the challenges on their own, pushing their individual endurance and strategic decision-making to the forefront.
