About the Hoot Half Marathon & 10k Trail Race
The course runs through Alum Creek State Park on a trail system known for its rocks and roots, and the name is not just branding. Summer conditions mean the technical footing is paired with heat, so this is not a course that lets you zone out. The route loops north first, then south, with a short connector segment for the half marathon distance.
Packet pickup runs at a local running store in Lewis Center across the couple of days before the race, during normal business hours, with race-morning pickup available at the park. The start is just off Hollenback Road, near the dog park, so parking and orientation are straightforward once you find that turn.

The Hoot Half Marathon & 10k Trail Race has been held every year since at least 2021. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
