Hoofin' The Hills

Hoofin' The Hills is a trail race in Little Rock, Arkansas, held on November 7, 2026. The single format is a 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 8:30 a.m.

Off road, a 5K rarely runs like its road equivalent, and the name here promises climbing. Expect your pace to drop on the uphills and your footing to demand attention on the way back down, so judge the day by effort rather than by the watch. Preparation is simple enough: run three or four times a week, and get at least one of those runs onto uneven ground so your ankles and calves are used to it. Shoes with real grip are worth more than any last-minute fitness.
