 - Come run where the Dinosaurs roamed!  Come explore their tracks at night, but don't let them catch you. Choose from a 5k or 15k trail run and bring a headlamp or flashlight, because you will be running after sunset following a course of reflective ribbon and glow necklaces to help find your way! Pictures below is the start of the run, crossing the river,  just after sunset.

The 5k will follow a trail near the river, while the 15k will explore the single track trails throughout the state park and along the river. The trails can be rocky and technical in spots, so bring your sense of adventure.
