About the Chilly Chili Trail Run 2027
The course runs through Ouabache State Park on winter trails, and the conditions change year to year. Some mornings bring packed snow underfoot, others bring mud or a thin crust of ice. The park is quiet in winter, and that quiet is a big part of what makes this one feel different from a road race.
Hot chili is waiting at the finish, which is the right reward for a cold-morning trail run. Packet pickup and start logistics are run through Bluffton Parks, so the whole operation stays local and unhurried.
