Wild Cajun Trail Runs

Wild Cajun Trail Runs takes place at Sam Houston Jones State Park in Lake Charles, Louisiana, featuring 40-mile, 27-mile, 13-mile, 13M RUCK, and 10K trail distances. Runners follow a 13-mile loop through Louisiana’s pine forests, winding rivers, Cypress swamps, and moss-draped trees, starting and finishing at the park pavilion. The course uses wide dirt single-track trails with roots and bridges and is relatively flat, with about 300 feet of elevation per loop.

The event offers a marked, supported course with aid stations, food, water, and drop bags, plus a no-cup policy. Features include an inaugural finisher medal, ruck options, headlamps for the 40M, and a pacer on the last loop. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
