Tackle a rugged and scenic Valentine's challenge on the rocky shores of Stillhouse Hollow Lake at Cupid's Gauntlet, February 21, 2026. This tough trail race in Harker Heights, Texas, offers four distances—from a formidable 60k to a swift 10k—each designed to test your endurance on the steep, rocky peaks and rolling terrain of Dana Peak Park. With a 14-hour cutoff for the 60k and mandatory hydration gear, the event emphasizes preparedness and self-sufficiency while delivering breathtaking lake views from its many climbs.
