The Experience
The Lone Star Night Run transforms Lake Mineral Wells State Park into a starlit racecourse. Participants tackle a paved trailway, accented with soft fine gravel, winding through the North Texas foothills.
This out-and-back course begins and concludes at the Weatherford Trailhead, offering a unique nocturnal running experience. With typical race-day temperatures hovering between 72–90°F, runners can expect a warm evening as they navigate the ~0 ft elevation changes.
The event, which also features 5K, 10K, and 10K RUCK options, provides a distinctive atmosphere for those seeking a different kind of challenge, away from the usual urban bustle.
