NIGHT CLAW

August 15th 2026
Glen Rose, TX
4 Hours | 6 Hours | 8 Hours

The Night Claw is a nighttime trail race through Dinosaur Valley State Park. Choose from the 4M, 10K, 4-hour, 6-hour, or 8-hour timed races. Runners can also opt into the Claw Challenge, where you’ll be hunted on the trails — escape with your tear tag intact and earn the title of “ESCAPED”; get caught, and you’ll be marked as “CLAWED.” Whether you outrun the claw or just come to race the night, this is one wild run through ancient land you won’t forget.

The Claw Challenge *optional*

The Claw Challenge is an optional challenge you can opt in during registration as a part of your race.

WHAT IS THE CLAW?
The claw is a person that chases down participants. Your goal is to out run the claw before you finish. When you cross the finish line you will either be clawed or beat the claw.

HOW IT WORKS
- Each participant that opts in will get a unique bib with a tear tag. If the claw catches you, they take your tag.
- A designated volunteer runner dressed as the Claw will give participants a head start then be chasing participants for their tags.
- Run fast to outrun the claw.
- Finish your distance. If your tag remains intact, you’ve beat the claw. If it’s torn, you’ve been clawed.
- Finisher medal add-ons will be given to those who "Beat The Claw" and who were "Clawed."
