Event details
The Hooves To Freedom Trail Race takes place on Saturday, January 24, 2026, in Blackshear, GA (7055 Wilton Rd, 31516). The event offers two registered options:
- 8k - on-site trail race
- 8k - virtual race
Entry fee for each event is $35. Chip timing and a finish-line photo are provided by Bailey Race Management. The race uses a gun start, meaning all participants begin at the same time. Fees include a long-sleeve Sports Tech T-shirt (registration must be submitted by the stated shirt reservation deadline).
Course, beneficiaries, and awards
The event is held at Moccasin Creek Off-Road Park. This is a trail run with sections of mud, roots, and sand; most of the course runs across open grassy fields. Proceeds benefit Hooves To Freedom, a local nonprofit that offers equine and animal-assisted activities and serves individuals in the surrounding counties. The event is also described as a celebration in memory of a friend of the organization.
Awards include Overall Male and Female, Masters Male and Female (40+), and top three male and female in each age group. Local hand-crafted wood-burned awards are planned, and the Overall Male and Female winners receive a free pair of shoes from Game Changers Running Company. A multi-family discount is provided.
