I’m headed off on a 3 week bike trip and just now noticed a small hole in the middle of running tread of my front tire. I have a few more days before heading off into a more remote area and wanted to know if this is something I should take care of beforehand. The tires are WTB horizon 47c’s and I’m running them with tubes. Attached is a picture of the crack
Thanks!

One of the go-to sites has this to say: "Cracks in the tread are harmless. Small punctures in the tire such as are typically caused by nails, tacks, thorns or glass slivers are also harmless to the tire, since the tire doesn't need to be air-tight."
I commute daily, and by the time my tires are about half way through their lifespan there are dozens of minor gashes like that in the tire. You just want to check that there's nothing lodged in there that will work inward and puncture your tube.

This type of cut is quite expected on tyres and usually nothing to worry about. Its caused when something (a small stone, shard of glass etc) cuts the rubber, but is stopped short of causing a puncture.
Carefully ease the cut apart with your fingers and see if you can see the inner tube. If you can see the tube, the tyre needs repairing from the inside.
If you can't see the tube, the casing is intact and you can continue to use the tyre, although some people like to use superglue to close these cuts to avoid more debris finding its way in
