Trail Hog is a trail race held in Joseph D. Grant Park, a large park east of San Jose near Mount Hamilton. Options include a half marathon, 10K, 5K, and hiking/walking. This annual Brazen Racing event is part of the Brazen Ultra Half Series, which features challenging half marathons around the San Jose and San Francisco area. These routes often exceed 13.1 miles, with significant climbs and descents on rough trails. The half marathon course begins and ends near the Mount Hamilton Road parking area. It follows an out-and-back path through park trails including Dutch Flat, Dairy, Brush, Eagle, Felipe, Barn, Hotel, Bass Lake, Canada de Pala, and San Felipe. Runners will encounter hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians on the shared trail system, so expect loose rock, dirt, sticks, and uneven terrain. The course ascends from approximately 1,440 feet to over 1,970 feet, with the summit reached early in the race. The name is inspired by park wildlife, such as wild pigs and tarantulas. Brazen Racing enhances the local race atmosphere with complimentary photos taken by volunteer photographers.

Both the in-person 5K and the Scramble 10K begin at 8:00 a.m., utilizing separate starting points and routes before concluding through the picnic area, close to the post-race gathering. Virtual 5K and 10K races are also available. This event has been held annually since 2000. All proceeds from entry fees and vendor contributions benefit Friends of Oscar Scherer Park Inc. and the Florida Scrub-Jay. The 5K course is designed for road runners. It commences near the Nature Center, proceeds along the main park road, and then transitions to prepared park trails featuring crushed shell, pavers, roots, ruts, and a brief sugar-sand stretch before the finish. The Scramble 10K presents a more challenging route, intended for trail runners. It consists primarily of unpaved trails, sugar sand, minor elevation changes, pedestrian underpasses and overpasses, and passes through habitat restoration zones. Dogs and strollers are prohibited on both courses. Participants completing the race receive a custom medal. Chip-timed results can be delivered via text or email.
