Troublesome Hollow 50K
Troublesome Hollow 50K is a trail running weekend in Bristol, VA, organized by Yeti Trail Runners on April 10–11, 2027. The event offers mountain-distance courses and takes place near 7720 Rich Valley and the Mendota trailhead in Southwest Virginia.
Distances include:

The courses feature flat riverside trail sections, swinging bridges and trestles, and one short climb to a fire tower. The 25K route includes double crossings of a swinging bridge. Aid stations are provided and described as stocked with mountain hospitality; early starters should note aid stations may not be fully set up before very early runners arrive.
Packet pick-up for the 50K is scheduled the day before at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum in Bristol, with an evening pickup window. 25K packet pick-up is available race morning at the Mendota trailhead. Chip timing for the event is provided by Zen Arcade Timing, which offers real-time tracking and live splits.
