Q50 Races Run to The Hills
The Q50 Races Run to The Hills is a trail running event held at Bogue Chitto State Park in Franklinton, Louisiana. The event takes place on dirt trails and offers participants a scenic environment with small hills and non-technical terrain. The park provides various post-race activities, including kayaking, tubing, canoeing, and horseback riding.
Participants can choose between two primary distances:
- 5 miles (consisting of one loop)
- 10 miles (consisting of two loops)
The organization follows a green policy and operates as a cupless event to minimize environmental impact. No paper or plastic cups are provided at water stations on the course. Runners are required to bring their own hydration systems, such as water bottles, hydration belts, or backpacks. Water and electrolyte drinks are available for refilling personal containers.
The 10-mile course includes one hydration and food station located at the end of the first loop, while the 5-mile course does not have an intermediate station. Food for participants is provided through a partnership with the New Orleans Mission. There is a separate entrance fee of $3.00 for the state park, which is not included in the registration. This fee is waived for seniors aged 62 and older and for children under 3 years old.
The event prohibits dogs, pacers, baby strollers, bicycles, and earphones on the course. Rewards are presented to the first, second, and third-place male and female finishers in both distance categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
