This is the third event in the 2026 Capt'n Karl's Night Trail Run Series! Join us as we run the rugged and demanding trails of Colorado Bend State Park. This locale is more reminiscent of the western United States than central Texas. Boasting cliffs and canyon lands, limestone caves, numerous natural springs, amazing waterfalls, and precious solitude, this park truly has it all & has quickly become a favorite among our runners and families. Prepare yourselves for a wonderful treat!
While every racer will get some cool swag, June 25 is the deadline to get a shirt.
