Dana Peak Trail Run : October 3, 2026

The Dana Peak Trail Run takes place at Dana Peak Park on the north shore of Stillhouse Hollow Lake in Harker Heights, Texas.

Each race distance follows a single loop with limited repeated trail sections.

• 10K - one loop (≈7 miles)
• 20K - one loop, ≈1530 ft ascent/descent
• 50K - one loop, ≈3354 ft ascent/descent
• 100K - two 50K loops, ≈6708 ft total ascent/descent

Course, aid stations and event logistics

All runners are required to carry a hydration device such as a water bottle or hydration bladder. The 50K and 100K courses have six aid stations per loop; most stations are 3-5 miles apart, with one segment of 7 miles between stations. The Lost-n-Found aid station is remote and accessible only by foot; it will offer a limited set of supplies including water, Gatorade, SaltStick and basic first aid. This is a cupless race; a reusable collapsible cup is available for purchase.

Only 100K runners may use a pacer and only on the second loop. There is one drop bag location for 50K/100K at the Stillhouse Hollow aid station; drop bag handling and return procedures vary by distance. Awards include a finisher buckle for the 100K and finisher medals for the 50K/20K/10K, with age-division prizes specified for top finishers. Registration, transfers and refund policies follow the published race rules. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
