There’s something electric about watching world-class athletes push their limits—the crack of the starting pistol, the roar of the crowd, the split-second finishes that leave you breathless. Every spring, that energy descends on Austin for one of track and field’s most storied events: the Texas Relays.

A Legendary Meet Returns March 25–28, 2026

Now in its ninth decade, the Texas Relays draws elite collegiate programs, rising high school stars, and professional athletes from across the country to Mike A. Myers Stadium on the University of Texas campus. Over four action-packed days, you’ll witness everything from blazing sprint relays to dramatic field events, all set against the backdrop of one of the sport’s most iconic venues.

Whether you’re a die-hard track fan, a family supporting a competing athlete, or simply looking for an exciting outing, this multi-session event offers something for everyone. Single-day and multi-day tickets are available through University of Texas Athletics, so you can tailor your experience to your schedule.

What to Expect

The meet runs all day across multiple sessions, giving you flexibility in how you take it all in. Arrive early to snag good seats for marquee events, grab classic stadium fare, and soak in the atmosphere that has made this meet a Texas institution since 1925. Pro tip: comfortable shoes and layers are your friends—Austin spring weather can be unpredictable, and you’ll likely be on your feet cheering.

Your Home Base in the Hill Country

Just 32 miles north of Mike A. Myers Stadium—roughly a 35-minute drive depending on traffic—Shady River RV Resort offers the perfect retreat after a day of cheering in the stands.

Tucked along the San Gabriel River in Georgetown’s scenic Hill Country, our resort gives you something Austin hotels simply can’t: space to stretch out, unwind, and actually relax. After navigating stadium crowds and city traffic, you’ll appreciate returning to the calm of abundant shade trees and the gentle sound of the river.

Traveling with young athletes or active kids? Let them burn off remaining energy at our shaded playground or challenge them to a game on our basketball and pickleball courts. Full hook-ups with 30 or 50 amp electrical service mean you’ll have all the comforts of home, while our WiFi coverage keeps you connected for sharing the day’s highlights or checking the next session’s schedule.

Early morning heats on the agenda? Our restroom and shower facilities make it easy to get race-day ready, and you can grab a quick breakfast in your rig before heading south to Austin.

Make It a Hill Country Sports Weekend

The Texas Relays offer a rare chance to witness athletic excellence up close—and Shady River RV Resort makes it easy to experience it all without the stress of downtown accommodations. Whether you’re staying for one session or the entire four-day meet, we’d love to be your home base.
