Spanning an impressive 320 acres between Kuykendahl Road and FM 2978, this versatile park offers the perfect setting for our Legacy of Courage Half Marathon. The park’s blend of natural beauty, recreation, and accessibility creates an inspiring backdrop for participants of all ages and abilities.

Runners and walkers will enjoy Burroughs Park’s more than eight miles of well-maintained hiking trails, which meander through dense woodlands beneath a canopy of majestic pine trees. These serene trails, set apart from the busier sections of the park, offer a peaceful atmosphere for the event. Along the way, participants can take in the scenic beauty of the park’s seven-acre stocked fishing lake, an observation deck, and an elevated boardwalk.
