RegisterRun Caney is back again! This will be a 5K, 6 mile and 12 mile loop run around beautiful Upper Caney Lake near Minden, Louisiana. The run, set in the slight hills and oak flats of the Kisatchie National Forest; is a beautiful spot to enjoy nature at its finest. It's not too hilly, not too rocky, and not too root laden. It's just right! Goldilocks would love it! This is an "Old School Style" trail run. It's a perfect first timer's race!
Packet Pick UP will be at Run Wild in Shreveport-on the Thurs. and Friday prior to the race (11th & 12th) from 10 am to 5:45 pm. Or, race morning before the race; at the race location.
There will be a shirt deadline of 12/1/25. Anyone registering after that may not get a shirt!
THERE IS NO NEED TO PAY THE $5 USAGE FEE. I'VE COVERED IT THIS YEAR BY SECURING THE DAY USE AREA.
There will be a running clock at the finish. Racers will be handed a numbered index card as they finish. The runner will then write their name and time on the card. In 2024 I used the RunSignUp mobile app with pretty good results.
Overall male and female winner in each race will get an award of some type. Age group winner will receive a home-made ornament of some type.
If you miss the race for any reason, you forfeit your shirt. Of course, you may get your shirt at early PPU and then not attend the race but if you just don't show...I will not hold onto your shirt for you.

Minden, the parish seat of Webster Parish and the fifth-largest city in Northern Louisiana, has a healthy dose of both city and country attributes. Driving through the downtown strip on old brick-paved roads and surrounded by the same buildings and structures that existed over 100 years ago, it is easy to get the feeling that you have taken a trip back in time. Only a mile or so away, name-brand food and motel chains can easily bring you back to the present. In addition to history of the days gone by, the town also has access to outdoor recreation at the nearby Kisatchie National Forest.
