10K Competitive Run
The first portion of the race follows the same route as the 5K, allowing runners to establish a steady pace before the course branches off onto a brief off-trail section. From there, runners travel along the shores of Lake Clark, continue toward the Ennis Municipal Airport, loop back along the lake dam, and return to the finish line.
The course includes a mix of paved roads and short natural-surface sections. While much of the route is runnable and smooth, runners should be aware that this is not a fast-and-flat course. There is one notable hill and gentle elevation changes that add a challenge, especially in the later miles.
The 10K is fully timed and well suited for runners looking for a longer, more engaging course with varied scenery rather than a purely flat, speed-focused race.
Strollers are allowed but not recommended.

5K Competitive Run
The course is primarily on concrete, allowing for consistent footing, with two short off-concrete sections through the Kachina Prairie Nature Preserve and along the banks of Lake Clark. These natural segments add variety and scenery while preserving the race’s competitive rhythm.
Official timing, results, and awards will be provided for competitive divisions. Whether you’re aiming for a personal best or simply enjoy a well-organized, high-energy race, this 5K delivers a strong blend of speed, structure, and scenery.
Strollers are welcome in the 5K Competitive Run; however, runners should be aware that the grassy section at Kachina Prairie and occasional course congestion may make maneuvering more challenging. For safety, we recommend starting toward the back of the pack and using extra caution in narrower or uneven areas of the course.

5K Kid Run (13 & under)
Parents and guardians should note that the route includes one short grassy section through the Kachina Prairie Nature Preserve, which is the only off-concrete portion of the 5K. Strollers, carts, and wagons may have difficulty on this grassy section, so parents should plan accordingly.
A great way for young runners to build confidence, earn a finisher medal, and be part of the Bluebonnet Run tradition.

5K Fun Run / Walk
Participants will have up to 2 hours to complete the 5K. All Fun Run / Walk participants start at a separate, later start time than the competitive 5K.
Strollers, carts, and wagons are allowed; however, participants should be aware that there is a short off-concrete section of the course.
This portion winds through the beautiful Kachina Prairie Nature Preserve and is the only on-grass section of the 5K. While manageable for most participants, strollers, carts, and wagons may experience difficulty on this grassy terrain, especially depending on ground conditions.
Perfect for families, casual runners, and anyone who wants to be part of race day without racing.
