Wilderness Run
The Wilderness Run is a trail event held at Shoal Creek Living History Museum in Hodge Park. The course is well marked and offers a mix of open fields, wooded paths, and rolling hills that run through the Shoal Creek Historical Village and surrounding grounds.
Two distance options are available:
- 2 miles
- 5 miles
Walkers and hikers are welcome to use either course. The 5-mile route has a new course for this year. All participants who register prior to Oct. 16, 2026 are guaranteed to receive the Wilderness Run Mug and a long sleeve T-shirt.
After finishing, participants may fill the Wilderness Run Mug with warm soup provided by volunteers and spend time near campfires on site. The event is intended to bring awareness to the Shoal Creek Living History Museum and its programs.
Shoal Creek Living History Museum covers about 80 acres of rolling hills and contains authentic 19th century buildings dated from 1807 to 1885, including log cabins, clapboard structures, and an antebellum mansion. Museum volunteers portray 19th century lifestyles during the event. The Wilderness Run is open to participants aged 6 and up. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
