FXBG Trail Half Marathon

The Motts Half Marathon is our fifth and final race in the FXBG Trail Series. This course takes runners on a full tour of the reservoir trail system, covering every corner of the winding network that surrounds the water. From the start line to the finish, you’ll experience the full character of the trails — flowing singletrack, constant twists and turns, and scenery that changes with every mile.

Rolling hills shape the rhythm of the course, keeping your legs engaged and your pacing honest. Along the way, runners will tackle five distinct climbs, totaling 946 feet of elevation gain, that add just the right amount of challenge. None are impossibly long, but together they demand steady effort and smart energy management.

The route never feels repetitive as it winds along the shoreline, through wooded sections, and across the undulating terrain that makes these trails so memorable. With a mix of climbs, flowing descents, and curving singletrack, this race is the ultimate reservoir adventure — a true showcase of the entire trail system.
