COVID-19 Announcement: Jurassic Trail Runs – 5/26/2020

Hello Terra Firma Racing community!

Due to how everything has been evolving the past few months with COVID-19 we are still in a holding pattern as far as scheduled events are concerned at state parks. We will keep everyone notified here, as well as on Facebook. Be safe, keep training, and thank you all for continuing to support Terra Firma Racing!

As before, we encourage everyone to follow the advice and guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) websites.

Take care and be safe!

Dinosaur Valley State Park, Glen Rose, Texas
Race Start: Postponed

Choose from a 5k, 15k or 13.1 mile trail run where the dinosaurs roamed! Long ago, dinosaurs left footprints in the mud at the edge of an ancient ocean. Today, you can run in their tracks at night, but don’t let them catch you.

Bring a headlamp or flashlight, because you will be running after sunset following a course of reflective arrows to help find your way! The trails can be rocky and technical in spots, so bring your sense of adventure.

Registration for the Jurassic Trail Runs opens soon!

Aid Stations

We try to be be eco-friendly at all of our races. To reduce trail litter and overall waste, we do not supply cups at the aid stations. There will be water out on the course every 3-5 miles, but you are responsible for providing your own drinking vessel.
