The Old Man Trail Races @ Hocking Hills

Saturday, May 22 @ 10 am

Cedar Falls Shelter

Join us for a spring trail event in Ohio's best state park!

Hocking Hills State Park is a scenic wonderland located in southeastern Ohio, renowned for its dramatic landscape of towering cliffs, deep gorges, lush hemlock forests, and numerous cascading waterfalls.

The park features miles of popular interconnected hiking trails leading to iconic geological features like Old Man's Cave, Cedar Falls, Ash Cave, and Conkle's Hollow. Carved by centuries of water erosion into the Blackhand Sandstone, the area offers stunning rock shelters, recessed caves, and year-round outdoor recreation.
