Chupacabra 10K/Half Marathon

Race #4 in the Wild Thangs Trail Series

Welcome to the Wild Thangs Trail Series! We are excited to introduce a new trail series to the beautiful mountains around Huntsville, AL. This series is designed for both new and experienced trail runners alike. There are 4 races total in the series with both short and long race distances. Starting in June and finishing in August, these 4 races are designed to be competitive, help runners increase their race distances through the hot summer months, and most of all be a ton of fun.

These courses are spectator friendly especially when compared to other trail events. There are several bluff views with beautiful mountain scenery as well as creek crossings, water falls and more

Several aid stations will be provided on the course with everything from water, Gatorade, coke, pretzels, m&m’s, granola bars and more.

We are excited to have Marco’s Pizza as a sponsor of the Wild Thangs Trail Series! All participants will have delicious Marco’s Pizza waiting for them at the finish line of each race!

Please remember that all RunningLane Events trail races are “cupless races.” You must have a hand held bottle, pack or or reusable cup as there won’t be any paper cups at the aid stations to cut down on waste. If you don’t have a reusable cup, there is the option to buy a RunningLane reusable cup at checkout for $5.
