Beaverfoot

Beaverfoot is a nighttime trail running event held at Beavers Bend State Park in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, nestled in the scenic foothills of the Ouachita Mountains. The race offers three distances: a 5K, an 11-mile, and a challenging 22-mile course. Participants run on rocky, rooty, and dirt single-track trails including Beaver Creek, Lookout Mountain, Deer Crossing, and Skyline trails, featuring significant elevation gains—over 2,500 feet for the 11-mile and more than 5,000 feet for the 22-mile race.

The event emphasizes a no-cup policy, requiring runners to bring their own hydration systems. Aid stations provide food, electrolytes, and hydration. Headlamps are mandatory for longer distances, enhancing the unique nighttime trail experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
