Blazin' Summer Sufferfest

The Blazin' Summer Sufferfest is a challenging night trail running event held at Cedar Hill State Park in Texas, featuring distances of approximately 5K, 10K, 18K, 36K, and 54K. The race takes place on the 12-mile DORBA trail system, winding through over 1,000 acres of forest and grasslands near Joe Pool Lake. Runners face moderate to difficult terrain and must carry their own hydration due to limited aid stations, especially in shorter races.

The event starts after sunset, requiring headlamps or flashlights for most participants. It emphasizes a cupless, environmentally conscious approach and offers finisher medals and awards for top finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
