Friends of Government Canyon 12th Annual Recharge Run

November 1, 2025

RUN THE RECHARGE where the Acrocanthosaurus and Sauroposeidon dinosaurs once roamed on the trails of Government Canyon State Natural Area! This is your opportunity to run amongst the footsteps of giants and help us to celebrate Government Canyon’s 20th birthday! We hope you will join us in-person, but we also offer a virtual option for those who can’t make the race or live outside the San Antonio area. Either way, sign up and help support, preserve and protect one of Texas’ largest natural areas for another 115 million years!

ABOUT OUR ANNUAL FUNDRAISER. This year marks the 12th anniversary of the Recharge Run and is the annual fundraiser that benefits the Friends of Government Canyon (FoGC), a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization. We advocate, raise funds, and provide volunteer support to help maintain, preserve, and protect Government Canyon State Natural Area. Thanks to the support of our generous sponsors, almost all of your race entry fee goes directly to helping fund projects at Government Canyon State Natural Area.
