The Triple C at Woolly Hollow

This is an annual trail race in memory of Curtis Colt Childress, who was killed in a motorcycle accident on September 26, 2024.   The race distances are 10, 4, and 1 miles through the trails at Woolly Hollow State Park.  All proceeds will go to the Cabugcayan Mission/Biliran Church of Christ in the Philippines, which is where Curtis's wife, Ruby, and daughter, Curtlyn, live.  Donations are appreciated!

The Triple C takes place on the first Saturday of December because Curtis was born on December 6th.  Curtis loved children and never met a stranger in his life, so the 1 mile fun run/walk is set up for children or anyone else who doesn't want to run or just wants a short trail experience. 

The 10 miles course takes place along a short paved section at the back of the park and follows the Enders Fault Mountain Bike Trail, ending at the top of the dirt access road in the Enders Fault gravel parking lot.  The 4 miles course begins on the paved road by the pavilion, follows the Huckleberry Trail through the woods and along a short section of the main paved road, runs by the falls, around the lake, up the dirt access road, and finishes in the Enders Fault gravel parking lot.  The 1 mile course begins on pavement just past the pavilion, runs through the gravel Enders Fault parking lot, down the dirt access road with a turnaround back to the finish in the gravel parking lot. Awards will be given to the top three male and female finishers of the 10 and 4 miles courses. 

This race is great for beginner trail runners, those more experienced runners who want to hit a PR on shorter courses, anyone looking to get in a solid training race for something bigger, and anyone else who just wants to support our cause by spending some time in nature and getting awesome swag, to boot! We hope to see everyone out there with us, can’t wait to meet new faces, and are so excited to be honoring the memory of Curtis by doing something he loved in the Park that was an integral part of his life. 

Woolly Hollow is a leave no trace state park.  Trash bags will be available at aid stations, and there will be two, one on the 10 miler around 4.5 miles and on the 4 miler before the waterfall. Please stash your trash!
