Quick Links:

IN GENERAL

Bluebonnet, a naturist park, rests on 66.5 acres adjacent to Caddo and LBJ National Grasslands. Guests are able to relax and find refuge from the pressures of urban life. Our resort adds a new dimension to the clothing-optional experience by offering a secure and serene environment. We welcome the experienced and the uninitiated nudist to enjoy our hospitality.

People are curious about nudism. The nudist philosophy is simple: being nude is natural. Runners have found that nude running gives them a feeling of freedom and exhilaration that cannot be matched in any other way. Bluebonnet offers this run to the general running community to give local runners an opportunity to enjoy this interesting and different running experience.

TO GET HERE

To get to Bluebonnet, follow the map. Please try to arrive an hour before race time so you’ll have plenty of time to park, check in, receive your packet, hydrate, warm up, etc. The gate opens at 9:00 AM so you can get in a bit of relaxation before the race.

On race day, the resort will be open to members and runners only. General spectators will not be allowed access to the resort. However, if your spouse or significant other is not a runner, please feel free to bring them along. Just place his or her name on the “Volunteer” line of the entry form. We’ll put them to work cheering you on as a course monitor, aid station worker, or finish-line volunteer.

RACE COURSE

The 5K race course is definitely cross-country. It is a fun and challenging course laid out on gravel roads and trails that are enclosed entirely within the resort. For safety reasons, no pets, bicycles, strollers, baby joggers, or in-line skates will be permitted on the course. The race will be electronic chip timed.

ENTRY FEE

  • $35.00 if pre-registered. To be pre-registered, your entry form must be postmarked on or before September 1, 2023.
  • $40.00 from 9/2 until September 13, 2023.
  • $45.00 if registering in person, or on or after September 14. You may register in person only on race day, September 16, 2023.

PRIZE DRAWING

After the race, there will be a drawing for door prizes. You must be present to win.

T-SHIRTS

It seems a bit odd to be handing out clothing for a clothing-optional event. However, runners treasure their “Bare As You Dare” shirts and love to wear them.

All pre-registered runners will receive a race T-shirt. Please keep your T-Shirt with you for the Group photo BEFORE the race. We’ll attempt to prepare enough T-shirts to supply everyone registering on race day, as well. But please be aware that we can only guess how many runners will???????

RACE PHOTOS

We’re sorry, but pictures will not be permitted within Bluebonnet Resort on race day. Cameras or Camera Phones should be left at home or in your vehicle. We’re sure you understand that there are runners who do not wish their nude photos to be owned by others.

There will, however, be an official race photographer who will commemorate the race with a group nude and non-nude photo which will be taken before the event of those who wish to participate. All participants should bring their T-Shirts with them for the Group Photo before the race. You are welcome to fill out the form included in your registration packet if you wish to have a copy of either of these photos.

AFTER THE RACE

Complimentary snacks and refreshments will be provided. In the past, runners have enjoyed the swimming pool, hot tub, and sauna following the race. Additionally, there is volleyball, tennis (bring your own tennis racket), ping-pong, and pool, as well as a dance. All runners are invited to stay and enjoy these activities after the race.

SHOULD I BRING ANYTHING?

Don’t forget to bring a towel. At any nudist facility, proper etiquette requires the placement of a towel between you and anything you sit upon. Because of this, you’ll notice a towel draped over the shoulder of most nudists as they walk around the resort. That is why the towel became known as the “only” true article of nudist clothing. In addition, it’s useful to have that towel around to dry off after you enjoy the shower, pool, or hot tub.

THE WEEKEND CAMPOUT

Enjoy the entire weekend including tenting Friday and Saturday evenings for an additional $XXX plus tax (covers individual, couple, or family). Enjoy all scheduled activities including a free hot dog cookout on the patio Friday evening at 7:00 PM.

Call us at (940) 627-2313 to reserve your tent or RV site for this fun weekend.
