Still Hollow Trail Race

Embark on a dynamic trail adventure at the Still Hollow Trail Race on August 1, 2026, set within the sprawling, densely forested Enterprise South Nature Park in Chattanooga, TN. Offering both a challenging Half Marathon (13.1M) and an invigorating 10K, this event is a highlight for both seasoned trail runners and those looking to explore off-road racing. Typical race day conditions in early August bring highs around 91F and lows around 72F, with a 16% chance of precipitation, so runners should prepare for a warm, shaded course.

The race kicks off with both distances sharing the first six miles on wide, rolling pedestrian trails, characterized by a mix of dirt, mulch, rocks, and tree roots, along with a fair share of hills. This initial segment is often described as fast and friendly, making it an excellent introduction for new trail runners. Half marathoners will then diverge onto non-technical singletrack trails, delving deeper into the park's more remote wooded areas, where the elevation gains become more significant, including the steepest climb between miles 9 and 10. While some runners note the trails offer "no views" or water crossings, the consistent shade provides a welcome reprieve.

Committed to environmental stewardship, the Still Hollow Trail Race is a cupless event, requiring all participants to carry their own hydration systems. Aid stations, primarily offering liquids, are strategically placed along the course, with one midway through the 10K and two for the half marathon after the 10K mark. Hosted by Wild Trails, a non-profit dedicated to expanding and protecting Chattanooga's nature trails, this race not only offers an exciting challenge but also contributes to a valuable cause.
