About This Event
The Loup Garou Trail Run offers a distinctly Louisiana trail experience in the cypress swamps and piney woods of Chicot State Park. Named for the Cajun werewolf (pronounced 'loo-gah-roo'), this December race features long bridges through cypress swamps, hardwood forests, and surprisingly varied terrain for southern Louisiana. What sets this race apart is its authentic Cajun hospitality—volunteers and aid station crews embody the region's legendary warmth and support culture. Directed by Edie Couvillon, the race has built a reputation for intimate, life-changing experiences since its inception in 2017. The event will conclude with its 10th and final edition in 2026, making it a poignant farewell to a beloved fixture in the ultra community. Runners can expect single-track trails that are less flat than Louisiana's reputation might suggest, supported by what many describe as the most caring and enthusiastic volunteer crew in the sport.
