About the Event

The Holliday Park Trail Run is a two day event on March 20 & 21 that includes fun events for the whole family Friday evening, and both a 5-mile run and 3-mile hike on Saturday morning. Participants will scramble, run, jump, climb or walk along the trails of Holliday Park, Blickman Park, White River, and Williams Creek. Participants will be challenged by uneven terrain, hills, stairs, mud, rocks, roots, and maybe even some water!

Friday Family Fun Events (3/20): Beginning at 6:00 p.m, parents can cheer on their kids as they race from the Ruins and along the trails during the 1-Mile Kids Run (ages 6-12) and Tot Trot (5 and under). Every finisher gets a prize! Once the races are over, everyone is invited to stick around and enjoy a bonfire and s’mores!

Saturday Morning (3/21): Beginning at 9:00 a.m., the 5-mile run and 3-mile hike will challenge participants as they journey along the course.

Runners only for the 5 Mile Trail Run. Must be able to finish in 1 hr 10 minutes

We do not allow dogs at this event.
