Hocking Hills Trail Run

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 2026!​​

SEOTR Events is so proud and excited to be the new organizer of the Hocking Hills Trail Run.  We want to thank the Hocking Hills Tourism Association for their work in directing the race for over 25 years and for trusting us to continue the event.  

The Hocking Hills Trail Run has been taking place since 1978 - we hope to continue the tradition of the event, while also making it a sustainable trail running event for many more years to come.  We think the Hocking Hills Trail Run is one of the marquee trail races in Ohio, matching the overall popularity of the beautiful Hocking Hills State Park (one of the most visited state-level parks in America!).  If you are an HHTR veteran, please review the new race website and note the changes we are making to the event.  If you are new to the HHTR, then welcome!

50K, 20 Mile, 10 Mile, 5 Mile, and 5K races beginning at the Hocking Hills State Park Naturalist Cabin, with the trail winding through vast wooded areas of the State Park and Hocking State Forest, crossing streams, deep gorges, shimmering waterfalls, lush forests, and country roads, leading uphill and down.
