Soldier Hollow is a gathering place for outdoor enthusiasts, and on race days the trails fill with spectators cheering on athletes. The name comes from the area's early history, and locals often use the venue for school outings and community events.
The venue is spread over a large area, so wear comfortable shoes and be ready to walk between sections. Check the official site for opening hours and any scheduled events before you go, as access can vary.
