Join the Dana Peak Trail Run located at Dana Peak Park, along the north shore of Stillhouse Hollow lake in Harker Heights Texas, approximately one hour from both Waco and Austin, Texas.
The trails ascend and descend the rocky terrain that hugs Stillhouse Hollow lake. While most of the trail system is in the trees there are some areas that are exposed. Throughout the race runners will climb several of the peaks along the shore catching incredible views of the lake during their journey along the course.
Each distance follows a single loop with limited repeat trails throughout your race!
IMPORTANT: All runners must carry a hydration device (i.e. Water Bottle or Hydration Bladder) to participate in the race. 100/50K runners need to make sure they can carry enough water to last on the longest segment between aid stations (7 miles).
Dana Peak Park is a 560 acre park located on the northern shore of Stillhouse Hollow Lake in Harker Heights, Texas. The park is operated and maintained by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Aid Stations
The 50K course will have six aid stations stops along the course. Most are between 3-5 miles apart. However, there is one segment that is 7 miles between aid stations. Please plan accordingly. We will post the distances between aid stations once we publish the course map.
The Lost-n-Found aid station is remote and not accessible by car or truck. This aid station will have less supplies but will include water, Tailwind, SaltStick and first aid supplies, at a minimum. The rest of the aid stations will include water, Tailwind, SaltStick, bananas, oranges, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, potato chips, Oreos, fig cookies, soda, pickles, pickle juice and first aid.
Because this course is a single 50K loop we are planning on having one drop bag location for 100K/50K runners only.
Ruck Divisions
Both the 20K and 10K will include a Ruck category. Participants must bring their own Ruck and meet these requirements:
- Participants who weigh 150 pounds or more, rucks must weigh at least 30 pounds.
- Participants who weigh less than 150 pounds, rucks must weigh at least 20 pounds.
Ruck weight does not include water/food that you can consume on the trail. However, bags of food can be used to add weight to your ruck, along with weights, heavy books, bricks, etc. Any nonperishable foods rucked in your bag can be donated at the finish line for a local food bank.
