We're excited for the 49th Annual Hocking Hills Trail Run set to start tomorrow! Runners will be completing one of five distances -- 50K, 20 Mile, 10 Mile, 5 Mile, or 5K -- in the beautiful Hocking Hills State Park. We're putting all the finishing touches on setup and preparation in anticipation of welcoming all runners!

**We've had a lot of emails come in the past three days about being able to register for the race still (sorry, we are unable to respond to so many emails this close to the race as our time is focused on setting up for the race). Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on who you are), the race has sold out at its capacity of 600 participants. We are unable to allow more entrants, and there will be no race-day registration. We wish we could let as many people possible into the event, but we must abide by our capacity. The waitlist is also past deadline. We hope to see you next year!

The race isn't until April of 2027, but the September price increase is tomorrow for the Athens Ohio Marathon and Half Marathon - make sure to register before the end of the day to save $10.00 on the registration price!

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone that participated in this year's Thunderbunny Trail Races!

We also want to give a huge shout out to the community of volunteers that support the Thunderbunny Trail Races. From pre-race activities, to aid station support, to post-race tear down, there was over 60 individuals that contribute to make Thunderbunny possible.

Our goal with Thunderbunny is to showcase our amazing trails to the many people that come to Athens, and to show off our strong trail running community. Thunderbunny embodies that mission year after year, and it shows with so many happy finishers that comment on how well they enjoyed the experience on the course and the support from volunteers!

We're also proud to activate countless hours of trail maintenance and tree clearing in the weeks leading up to Thunderbunny race day - spring time is a beautiful time on our singletrack trails, but it also bring the bursting spring foliage that takes work to manage. We also want to comment on how much we value the work the Athens Bicycle Club, who continue to be the best stewards of our trails a community could ask for; we appreciate your support of our race!
