The Holliday Park Foundation is excited to host the Holliday Park Trail Run in 2021, but we want to make sure all participants, volunteers, and spectators feel safe and comfortable. With this in mind, social distancing guidelines will be enforced. We will follow all recommendations from the local health department with regards to social distancing and requirements of face masks.

MASK REQUIREMENTS: Masks are mandatory until you have begun competing. We ask that you bring 1 mask to dispose of at the start line, and have 1 mask to put on immediately after finishing.

NEW for 2021, 5-milers will begin in waves. Registrants will choose their goal pace upon registering, which determines start time. Wave start times are posted below in the [Friday and Saturday Schedule] tab

Please see the Health and Safety Updates for 2021 section below for more details.

If COVID conditions do not allow us to host this event, we will have an alternative plan. Updates will be announced as needed.
