Chase The Chief

The Annual Trail Run at Eagle Mountain Park

Saturday, October 17th, 2026

Presented by Luke’s Locker Fort Worth

Tucked away on the edge of Fort Worth, Eagle Mountain Park is a hidden gem with real-deal elevation, winding dirt trails, and views that make every climb worth it. We’re taking it back to the old school—no chips, no clocks, just you and the trail. Keep your own time, jot it down at the finish, and be handed a ceramic mug stuffed with pancakes hot off the grill as your ultimate finisher prize.

Choose your adventure—a 5ish-mile trail run or a 2ish-mile hike—and enjoy a morning filled with fresh air, community, and celebration.

🎶 Finish strong with live music from School of Rock Saginaw

🥞 Refuel with pancakes, hot coffee, and trailside treats

👟 Test drive HOKA trail shoes on rugged terrain

🧦 Take part in the Sock Exchange with Feetures & Luke’s Locker

🏅 Compete for top finisher awards

🧒 Kids are invited to join the guided youth hike hosted by Girl Scout Troop

Whether you're chasing a personal best or soaking in the views, this is your moment to get outside and do something good—for yourself and for our trails. Proceeds support Streams & Valleys and our mission to protect, enhance, and celebrate the Trinity River and Trails.

Space is limited. Don’t wait—register early and get ready for a trail day to remember.

*Since this event supports our nonprofit mission, we’re not able to offer refunds — but we’re more than happy to transfer your registration to next year’s event or to another participant if something comes up.

Join us for the first CASA of Wise and Jack counties Superhero 5k at the corner of Main and State streets in downtown Decatur, Tx. Help CASA of Wise and Jack counties increase awareness of child abuse and neglect and the need for children experiencing foster care to have a voice. Our volunteer advocates provide a voice for a child that has been taken from all that they know and is navigating the foster care system. Funds raised from this event will help us recruit and train new advocates to support these children. All proceeds will directly benefit CASA of Wise and Jack counties and our most vulnerable citizens.
