Friends of Government Canyon Recharge Run 8K/15K

The Friends of Government Canyon Recharge Run is an annual trail run fundraiser held on the trails of Government Canyon State Natural Area in San Antonio, Texas. Participants can select an 8K or 15K distance, with a virtual option available for those outside San Antonio or unable to attend in person. Registration is set at $10, emphasizing participation and support for the natural area. The run is organized by Friends of Government Canyon, a non-profit dedicated to protecting and promoting the Government Canyon Natural Area. A unique aspect is the invitation to run on land once inhabited by Acrocanthosaurus and Sauroposeidon, connecting the event to the area's prehistoric past. Proceeds from the run aid in trail preservation and support one of Texas's largest natural areas.
