Welcome to Cupid’s Gauntlet, the trail race where love, grit, and sneakers collide! This isn’t your typical stroll through the woods—this is an adventure designed to test your endurance, your sense of humor, and the opportunity to make a love connection with some rocks.
The race is held at Dana Peak Park, located on the north shore of Stillhouse Hollow lake in Harker Heights Texas, approximately one hour from both Waco and Austin, Texas.
The trails ascend and descend the rocky terrain that hugs Stillhouse Hollow lake. While most of the trail system is in the trees there are some areas that are exposed. Throughout the race runners will climb several of the peaks along the shore catching incredible views of the lake during their journey along the course.
