Q50 Races Run to the Hills
Q50 Races Run to the Hills is a trail running event at Bogue Chitto State Park, 17049 State Park Blvd, Franklinton, LA (GPS N 30.767527983, W -90.1573070). The event offers two distances on park trails.
The course surfaces are dirt trails with small hills. The 10 mile course is two loops and includes a single water and food station at the 5-mile point. The 5 mile course is one loop and has no on-course water station. Organizers emphasize a minimal paper and plastic policy; participants must bring their own hydration containers such as bottles, camelbacks, or hydration belts. There will be water and fluids available at the start and finish to refill containers, but paper or plastic cups will not be provided.
Logistics and rules include a $3.00 per person park entry fee which is not included in registration; seniors (age 62 and older) and children under 3 are exempt from that park fee. Registration policies note no transfer registrations, no refunds, and a deadline for mileage switching before the event. If a participant gets lost, cuts the course, or follows the wrong course, no place award will be given. Packet pickup is available prior to the race.
Additional notes: food for participants is provided by the New Orleans Mission; no dogs, pacers, baby strollers, bicycles, or earphones are allowed on course. Participants are advised to bring insect repellent, sunscreen, and to hydrate. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
