Los Chupacabras de la Noche 10 km 2010 San Antonio Results

Last Friday, San Antonio took trail running to the dark-side for the Los Chupacabras de la Noche 10km evening trail fun run through McAllister Park. This adventure started at 9pm so a light source of some kind was required.

This event definitely seems like a confirmation on the growth of running as there was over a 100% increase in participants from last year. There were over 900 runners ready for a run in the woods and the party that followed.

Course

The clockwise looped course is described at rocky, rooty, and heavily wooded…and watch out for low branches. The elevation profile highlights a variety of up/downs but nothing too crazy. Most climbs were in the 5-40 feet range.
