About This Race
The 10-mile course provides a substantial exploration of Page's diverse terrain, weaving through sections that transition from desert flats to more technical rocky passages. This distance suits runners seeking a moderate challenge that allows time to appreciate the surrounding canyon country vistas while building endurance on varied trail surfaces.
The course winds through Bogue Chitto State Park's diverse landscape of pine forests, mixed hardwoods, and open meadows. Starting and finishing at Day Use Pavilion 3, runners navigate the park's trail system over sandy and rooted terrain typical of Louisiana's coastal plain region. The single water station at the start/finish line requires runners to plan their hydration strategy carefully, particularly for the 10-mile distance.
