Southern Singletrack Race #4
Southern Singletrack Trail Running is thrilled to announce the 8th Annual Holiday Hootie-
Hoo Trail Race 10K and Half Marathon, happening on Sunday, December 14, 2025!
Are you looking for a fun holiday goal or event to train for? Well, we’ve got the perfect trail run
or hike for you and your friends to enjoy—and everyone gets a hoodie (plus other swag)!
Expect cooler temps, a super comfy race hoodie, an awesome finisher’s award when you cross
the finish line, and a warm campfire where you can soak in the camaraderie of the trail running
community.
This is our biggest race of the year and a celebration of the end of our annual race series. We
would love for you to join us! Come celebrate the holidays and run with us on one of Georgia’s
longest and most scenic trails at F.D.R. State Park on Pine Mountain.
Experience the beauty of Pine Mountain, including unique rock outcroppings, hardwood and
longleaf pine forests, as well as rock formations, springs, and creek crossings along the Half
Marathon route. The 10K course will take you along the Mountain Creek Nature Trail Loop and
part of the Long Leaf Loop. Both routes will challenge you with rocky, root-filled singletrack
trails covered with leaves—so watch your step!
