Last year our Saint Patrick's Badger (aka The Leprebadger) fled his traditional weekend in March in search of better weather and drier trails (he just had too many rough years).  It worked out great (couldn't have asked for better weather), so we're doing it in April again for 2025!

Join us for a run (or walk) in the emerald hills of Lake Del Valle.

The Badger Cove Half Marathon is part of the Brazen Racing Ultra Half Series, getting participants one step closer to big coasters, big checks and more!

If you are looking for a super-fast, flat, easy course to set a personal record, you are probably in the wrong place. These courses have hills, especially the 10K and half marathon.  If, however, you are looking for a great time on the trails, with beautiful scenery, awesome support and unique, high-quality shirts and awards, you have come to the right place!

Hikers/walkers are welcome.

Event Schedule:

7:30 AM - Half Hikers

8:00 AM - Half Marathon

8:20 AM - 10K

8:45 AM - 5K

For half marathon participants who wish to hike the course and take more than 4 hours, we will offer a "Hiker Division" start at 7:30 am. Those starting at 7:30 should carry water as the first and second aid stations might not be 100% up and running, depending on the hikers speed. Hiker starts will not be eligible to win the race or for age group awards, but will be listed as official finishers in the Hiker Division and will still receive finisher medals.
