Description:
RUN THE RECHARGE where the Acrocanthosaurus and Sauroposeidon dinosaurs once roamed on the trails of Government Canyon State Natural Area! This is your opportunity to run amongst the footsteps of giants! We are excited to be racing in-person, but we offer a virtual option as well for those who can’t make the race in-person or live outside of San Antonio, TX. Either way, sign up and help support one of Texas’ largest natural areas and help us protect and preserve these trails for another 110 million years.
About Our Annual Fundraiser. This year marks the 11th year of the Recharge Run and is the annual fundraiser that benefits the Friends of Government Canyon (FoGC), a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization that advocates, raises funds, and provides volunteer support to help maintain, preserve, and protect Government Canyon State Natural Area. Thanks to the support of our generous sponsors, almost all of your race entry fee goes directly to helping fund projects at Government Canyon State Natural Area.
