This year's run through Hocking Hills State Park, centerpiece of southeast Ohio's famous vacation destination region, attracted a record-setting 757 participants to this growing annual event hosted by the Hocking Hills Tourism Association..  Runners came from 16 states, including Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and West Virginia (and of course, Ohio).  Pre-registrants included runners between of all ages, from 7 to 81.

500 runners preregistered for the race, with 149 people signing up for the 5k version, 136 for the 10k run, 158 for the 20k contest, 32 for the 40k course, and 25 for the grueling 60k route.  Running through the woods and hills presents a significantly unique challenge, to say the least, but listening to folks at the finish describe how much they really enjoyed it was truly ear and eye-opening.  Also more than interesting was seeing the various types and sizes of those who took this challenge.

The 2008 Indian Run drew 635 runners; this year's total, along with a generous helping of their friends and family to cheer them on, underscores recent upticks in annual visitors to the Hocking Hills Region.  Find more information and results at http://www.1800hocking.com.
