Star Ranch 5K Races

Star Ranch has hosted the “Bare Buns Run 5k Fun Run” in the spring every year since 1997. The event is so popular that it is listed as a “Top Running Race” in Texas by RunnerClick.com. We generally have 130 to 160 runners in the competition, which is a qualifying race for the AANR-SW 5K Series. Due to the popularity of this event, ANNR-SW asked us to host a second 5K event each year – now named the “Chilly Cheeks 5k Run” and is run in the autumn.


Star Ranch 2024 5k Race Schedule Announced!

The 27th Annual “Bare Buns 5k Fun Run” is scheduled for March 23, 2024
The 6th Annual “Chilly Cheeks 5k” is scheduled for October 5, 2024
Registration is now open for the March 2024 race.

The success and longevity of Star Ranch’s 5k races are due to the commitment and energy of our volunteers!

Enjoy a rural run through “Star Ranch” in McDade, Texas, 30  minutes east of Austin on US Hwy 290. The course winds its way around pastures and through woodland trails for approximately three kilometers before entering the developed portion of the ranch. The final two kilometers are on the sand and gravel paths connecting the cottages and cabins owned by our members. The race finishes at our gorgeous pool where you can enjoy a light meal off the grill while awaiting race results.

Star Ranch is the premier stop of the 2024 A.A.N.R. Southwest Nude Racing Series and you don’t need to have participated in any other race to run here. Our 5k runs are “clothing optional,” meaning wear as much or as little as you like. All runners must be pre-registered.

At Star Ranch, we pride ourselves on over 65 years of hospitality serving the nudist community of central Texas. Explore the web site for more information on the Ranch and the other activates we host throughout the year

We look forward to seeing you on Race Day! Parking opens at 9:00 AM – the race starts at 1:00 PM.
