Dana Peak Trail Run
Dana Peak Trail Run is held at Dana Peak Park on the north shore of Stillhouse Hollow Lake in Harker Heights, Texas. The park is operated and maintained by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
The course follows rocky shore terrain that ascends and descends several peaks and runs mostly through trees with some exposed sections. Each distance follows a single loop with limited repeating trail.
Distances and ascent
- 10K Run - 1 x 10K loop (≈7 miles)
- 20K Run - 1 x 20K loop, ≈1530 ft ascent/descent
- 50K Run - 1 x 50K loop, ≈3354 ft ascent/descent
- 100K Run - 2 x 50K loops, ≈6708 ft total ascent/descent
Aid stations and hydration All runners must carry a hydration device such as a water bottle or hydration bladder. The 50K and 100K loop has six aid stations per loop, most spaced about 3 to 5 miles apart, with one segment about 7 miles between stations. This is a cupless race; a reusable collapsible cup is available for purchase. One remote aid station has limited supplies; other stations provide water, Gatorade, electrolytes, snacks, and first aid items.
Support, crew and pacers Crew access is available at Stillhouse Hollow and Comanche Gap for 50K and 100K; there is no crew access for 10K or 20K. The Stillhouse Hollow location may charge a small access fee and may not accept federal recreation passes. Only 100K runners may use a pacer, and only for the second loop.
Logistics and amenities Drop bags are allowed for 50K and 100K at the Stillhouse Hollow aid station and must be left at the designated area before race morning. Tent and car camping is allowed Friday and Saturday night in primitive sites without water or electricity; RV camping is not available inside the park after October 1. Race shirts are provided but sizes are limited and guaranteed only if registered by September 22. Awards and finisher items include a finisher buckle for the 100K and medals for the 50K, 20K, and 10K; awards are given to top overall and masters finishers in specified events.
