What is "The Hollow"?
A magical place where the spirit of Christmas lasts forever.
Santa's Hide-A-Way Hollow began as a dream, and was completed in 1992. What started out as a desire to help terminally ill children and their families, has resulted in a
Christmas retreat from the reality of their illness, creating wonderful memories instead.
The Mission of Santa's Hide-A-Way is to bring families together during a very difficult time in their lives. It provides a perfect setting for a visit with Santa Claus, no matter the date.

The Foundation encourages, with the assistance of the American public and community leaders, establishing permanent Gold Star Families Memorial Monuments in communities throughout the United States, conducting Gold Star Families Outreach across the country, and providing Living Legacy scholarships.
Despite competing in all the individual events within a Decathlon, and inequality persists: women are still barred from competing in the Decathlon at the international level - the iconic event which crowns the world’s greatest athlete. We’re done waiting for permission to compete - we’re organizing our own competition. Join us for the second annual Women’s Decathlon World Championships.
This event is more than a competition: it's a call to action for the International Olympic Committee and World Athletics to embrace inclusivity. It is a statement of solidarity with every female athlete striving for recognition and the opportunity to compete on the world stage. Join us in making history.

NEW 10k for 2026!
We will be celebrating the new Buckeye Trail section at West Branch State Park. The Buckeye Trail has recently been designated a State Trail by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and is only the third trail to receive this recognition. This new section is the first of more to come!
West Branch State Park is predominantly forested with a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees. The forest is primarily oak-hickory and provides habitats for a diverse array of wildlife, including deer, foxes, raccoons, squirrels, pheasant, and songbirds. The dense canopy provides shade and cool temperatures in the warmer months making it perfect for hiking and running.
Marathoners will make their way around the eastern end of the lake crossing the dam and then continuing to the entrance to the campground before returning back to the beach. Half marathoners will finish at the turnaround and take a shuttle back to the finish party at the beach. 10k participants will complete an all-trail route from the beach to the dam and back.
