100 Registered already, in just under 2 weeks! You all are amazing. I remember back in our first year of existence it took over 2 months to get to 100 registered. We can't thank you enough! I say we do a drawing for some merch. Watch the video to see the winner and the merch at the end. I’ll get this shipped out next week even though it may be a bit before it can be used.

Email going out at 8pm central tonight.

Registration opens for the 2027 Woolly Hollow Trail Half Marathon this Friday, September 4th at 8:00am!

We’ll have special early-bird pricing of $65 for Labor Day weekend from 8:00am Friday through midnight Monday. After that, registration goes to $75.

The race is Saturday, January 9th at 9:00am. We are always the 2nd Saturday in January.

We realize that this year we’re in conflict with an even longer, more established race, ABF. We’re big fans of ABF and are very happy that they are sold out, although we’re very sad that our RD won’t be able to run their race this year! Most years we don’t conflict because ABF typically runs on the 1st Saturday. However, when the 1st Saturday falls on the 1st or 2nd day of the month, as it did this year, they need to move to the 2nd Saturday, thus the conflict.

But wait, there’s more!
If you register for the Woolly Hollow Trail Half Marathon, we’ll throw in a $25 coupon toward our other race, The Possum at Woolly Hollow! The Possum is November 7th at Woolly Hollow, starting at 8:00am. It’s a 6-hour team event that we think you’ll really enjoy. Use code WH25OFF at checkout of The Possum for your $25 discount. See the registration link below.

But what about those who already signed up for The Possum and paid full price? Check your inbox! You should have a coupon waiting for you for the Woolly Hollow Trail Half Marathon.

Don’t wait! We sell out every year. Don’t wait until December, only to end up on the waitlist and hoping a spot opens up.

Also, a reminder that we do not offer refunds, but we do allow you to move your registration to our virtual option. That way you can keep your streak alive as virtual completions count toward the streak. That policy was established during COVID and we’ve kept it ever since.

Also, Registration for The Woolly Hollow Trail Half Marathon will open in a couple of weeks.

This morning I turned off my alarm at 4:30 and rolled over to go back to sleep with intentions of skipping my morning run.

4:40 this guy is causing a ruckus on the back porch and wakes me back up. I thank him, snap his picture and then go for my run.

This year we get the opportunity to take a team to Honduras in partnership with Chispa Project to establish another library in another elementary school in a part of Honduras that has become very special to me. The teachers and kids in this video are from the exact school where we will put the new library. Thank you all for your support that helps make incredible things like this possible!
