Beaverfoot

Beaverfoot is a nighttime trail running event held at Beavers Bend State Park in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, nestled in the scenic foothills of the Ouachita Mountains. The race offers three distances: a 5K, an 11-mile, and a challenging 22-mile course. Participants run on rocky, rooty, and dirt single-track trails that include Beaver Creek, Lookout Mountain, Deer Crossing, and Skyline trails, featuring significant elevation gains—over 2,500 feet for the 11-mile and more than 5,000 feet for the 22-mile race.

The event emphasizes a no-cup policy, requiring runners to bring their own hydration systems. Aid stations provide food, hydration, and electrolytes, and all courses are fully marked and supported. The race atmosphere is friendly and encouraging, with unique finisher medals and awards for top and last-place finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
