What to Expect at Mosaic Trail Race

Mosaic Trail Race is a 50K ultra held in Burnet, TX, US.

Ultra-distance racing demands a flexible nutrition strategy. Gut absorption efficiency declines over many hours, so plan for variety — alternating between gels, chews, real food, and liquids helps prevent flavor fatigue and GI rebellion. Many ultra runners find that what works at hour 3 is intolerable by hour 10. Build your plan with options, not rigid prescriptions.

We do our best to keep race details accurate and up to date, but things can change and occasionally we simply get something wrong.

Always check the official website for the most complete and current information.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I eat during the race?
Your nutrition plan depends on your body weight, experience level, and race-day conditions. Use our free calculator to get a personalized, hour-by-hour fueling plan with specific carb, fluid, and sodium targets for this Ultra 50K.
How much water should I drink?
Fluid needs vary based on your sweat rate, body weight, and race-day temperature. A typical range for moderate days is about 500-800 ml/hr, but hotter conditions at Burnet, TX may require more. Our calculator provides personalized fluid targets adjusted for the expected weather.
How many calories do I need?
Rather than replacing all calories burned, focus on carbohydrate intake — the primary fuel for endurance performance. Target 30-50% of caloric expenditure through carbs. Our calculator computes the exact hourly targets based on your Ultra 50K pace and body weight.
When should I start fueling?
Begin fueling within the first 30-45 minutes. Start at about 70% of your target intake and ramp up to full by hour 2. This gives your gut time to adjust. Starting too late makes it nearly impossible to catch up on carbs and fluids.
