Night Claw

Glen Rose, United States • 2 Aug 2025

Night Claw is a unique nighttime trail running event held at Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, Texas. Participants can choose from various distances including 5K, 10K, and timed races of 4, 6, or 8 hours, running on scenic, hilly single-track trails with a 650-foot elevation gain and a river crossing. A special feature is the optional Claw Challenge, where runners try to avoid being "caught" by a chaser on the course, adding an exciting twist. The race offers a fully marked course, aid stations, finisher medals, and awards, all set in a historic and atmospheric park under the night sky.
