The Possum at Woolly Hollow

The Possum at Woolly Hollow is a six-hour timed trail race in Greenbrier, Arkansas, held on November 7, 2026, with the start at 8:00 a.m. Rather than a fixed distance, the format gives you the clock: you run at Woolly Hollow for six hours and your total distance is your result, which means every entrant finishes at the same moment no matter how far they cover.

Timed events reward patience over speed. The runners who do best start slower than feels right, eat and drink from the first hour rather than the third, and keep moving through the middle stretch when motivation dips. Prepare with a training block built on time on feet, a weekly long trail run of two to three hours, and practice with the food you plan to use. Trail shoes and a change of socks are both worth having.
