Wild Cajun Trail Runs
The Wild Cajun Trail Runs, held at Sam Houston Jones State Park in Lake Charles, Louisiana, offers trail running distances of 10K, 13M, 27M, and 40M, plus a 13M ruck event. The course features scenic hiking trails through pine forests, winding rivers, cypress swamps, and moss-draped trees, with a 13.5-mile loop that includes about 300 feet of elevation gain per loop. The terrain consists of wide dirt single-track trails with some roots and bridges.
Participants enjoy a fully marked and supported course with aid stations providing food, hydration, and electrolytes. The event emphasizes environmental respect, requiring runners to carry their own water systems. Awards include finisher medals, long-sleeve shirts, and special recognition for top and last-place finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
